Firestone Vagabond folding/2pc bicycle

[supergoob]

Brother picked this up for me today, should have it back at the shop here in a few hours. Just curious as to what year range this could be and what the value is? This bike is in perfect riding condition. I know there is a little niche market for bikes of this sort and they haven't historically been my cup of tea, so this will likely be for sale in the very near future after a little bit of R&R.

Only pic I have now, more pics to follow this afternoon.



Thanks Guys!

Nobody?

I would guess early sixties. I think these were probably out before the Sears Tote Cycles.
I would guess a value around $75-150. Maybe more. There is a guy that has been trying to get $325 on ebay for one with no success. There is another one for $150 with no takers either.
Looks like a cool little bike.

Is that a built in gas tank? Cool bike! Kinda reminds me of Arlen Ness motorcycles of the '70's.

It'd be cool if it was and thats definitely what it resembles. That is, however, the handle for the bolt that holds the 2 pieces of the bike together.

I rode this thing the other night for about 3 miles and it was a ton of fun!!
