AS A VINTAGE BRITISH BICYCLE COLLECTOR, HISTORIAN, AUTHOR AND MAD DEVOTEE WITH 36 YEARS EXPERIENCE I CAN SHED SOME LIGHT ON THIS SUBJECT.
THE J.A. PHILLIPS CYCLE COMPANY, FROM THEIR CREDENDA WORKS FACTORY WAS A HUGE MANUFACTURER WITH AN AWESOME AND INCREDIBLE RICH HISTORY OF BEING A LARGE SUPPLIER OF PHILLIPS BICYCLES AND A NOTEWORTHY MANUFACTURER OF PUSH BICYCLE PEDALS AND ALL PARTS RELATED TO THE CYCLE TRADE.
THIS INCLUDED WELL MADE AND POPULAR PHILLIPS ROLLER SKATES.
PHILLIPS BICYCLES, NO MATTER HOW TATTY OR USED ARE CURRENTLY BEING, COLLECTED, SOUGHT AFTER, FIXED UP, RESTORED, RIDDEN, LOVED, BOUGHT, SOLD, TRADED, WORLDWIDE. THE ORIGINAL OLD SLOGAN: "RENOWN THE WORLD OVER" IS STILL TRUE TODAY.
THE PHILLIPS BICYCLES, ALL TYPES AND STYLES AND MODELS ARE IN DEMAND AND COLLECTED AND RESTORED AND LOVED AND HIGH PRICES ARE PAID FROM PEOPLE THE WORLD OVER BY PEOPLE WHO LOVE THESE BRITISH BICYCLES AND IT IS NOT UNCOMMON FOR SOMEBODY TO DRIVE MANY MILES TO COME TO YOUR HOME TO PURCHASE AND COLLECT FROM YOU THE OLD PHILLIPS BICYCLE YOU HAD ADVERTISED FOR SALE. INSTEAD OF SHIPPING THE BICYCLE THE INDIVIDUAL DROVE TO COLLECT IT IN PERSON SO AS NOT TO RISK THE OLD PHILLIPS BICYCLE BEING SCRATCHED OR DAMAGED IN TRANSIT. THIS IS THE UNIQUE MINDSET OF THE BICYCLE COLLECTOR WHO CHERISHED AND APPRECIATES THE BRITISH PUSH BICYCLE, ACCESSORIES, MOTORIZED CYCLES AND PHILLIPS PANDA MOPEDS. THERE ARE LEGIONS OF LOYAL COLLECTORS AND RIDERS OF THE PHILLIPS PANDA MOPEDS AS WELL. SO THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT COLLECTORS AND DEVOTEES OF PHILLIPS CYCLES.
WE ARE SORRY IT HAS GONE AWAY AND WISH IT WOULD RETURN, WE WANT TO BUY SPARE PARTS AND WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE OLD PHOTOS AND HEAR STORIES FROM PEOPLE WHO WORKED THERE.
THE PHILLIPS LION HAS MANY PEOPLE THE WORLD OVER WHO LOVE IT AND PAY CRAZY PRICES TO OWN ITEMS AND ACCESSORIES AND WHOLE BICYCLES BEARING THE FAMOUS PHILLIPS TRADE MARK. EVEN NOW I CORESPOND WITH A GENTLEMAN FROM BRAZIL WHO WISHES TO BUY PHILLIPS NEWSREEL MAGAZINE BOOKLET PUBLICATIONS.
WARM REGARDS FROM THE U.S.A., WHERE OLD TATTY PHILLIPS BICYCLES ARE SEARCHED FOR, RESTORED, AND RIDDEN WITH PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP AND IT IS REGARDED WITH HONOUR TO BE ABLE TO OWN ONE.
