Find myself curiously fascinated by the carrier, reminds me of the 'Craven' ones I used to fit to all my bikes back then.

Looks more like a Tower carrier to me - AFAIK Craven carriers were a different shape & usually black not chromed ?

I hope Jerry puts it on Ebay rather than binning it - period accessories are often not easy to find, particularly in good order.
