 | | Since Howie Cohen's passing, no items are for sale. | | An original 12-page Race Program for the International 6-Day Bike Race which was held at the Los Angeles Pan Pacific Auditorium on October 5-11, 1937. Howie attended many events at this Auditorium during his youth & teen years (not including this bike race). This original Program is from the collection of Phil Mole Sr., ex bike racer, trick rider, cycling aficionado and ex owner of the John T. Bill Co., one of the major bicycle distributors in the Los Angeles area from 1895 to the mid 1980s. Many thanks to Pete Mole, Howie`s long time friend, for making it possible to share this with you. The dimensions are 7 3/4 x 10 3/8 inches, see the picture gallery for many of the pages. |
