Ah, small blast from this past summer. Here are two pieces from the Lambretta Jamboree, the US’s largest vintage Lambretta rally. There were only 200 or so made of the pin on the left.
Thanks to Tom C. for these!

Plasticland calls these the “Miss Mod” earrings. I call them pretty dang cute. They are enamel over gold plate. The helmet measures 1/2″ x 1/2″, the scooter measures 3/4″ x 1″, and total drop length for the earrings is 1.5″. Of course if you didn’t want them as earrings, these would make perfect charms for a necklace or bracelet. They’re $21.00, so a great price for such detailed charms.

This limited edition pin features Mickey and Minnie on a scooter. The scooter is a “slider element” which can be moved along the front of the background. Pretty cute for $8.95!

I picked this up for very cheap on eBay from a European seller. It’s about the size of a half dollar and is very detailed for it’s size. It doesn’t have any markings on the back but almost looks like a mass produced item ready to be imprinted with the name of a scooter club or event on the bottom. Anyone else seen any of these? Let us know with a comment (see above) or e-mail us !

It might get confusing. There are also egg cups, money banks and trinket boxes in these same scooter shapes if you don’t want to risk putting pepper on something you didn’t want to. Prices range from £4 to £7 at UK retailer the Purple Puffin.
Thanks to Julie for this great find!
