"Sembra una Vespa!"

This auction is for two reproduction prints from drawings submitted to the United States Patent by inventor Corradino d'Ascanio on behalf of Piaggio & Company for the classic Vespa. The application was filed June 19, 1947 and the design patent was granted on December 27, 1949.

By this time, 35,000 Vespas had been produced. By 1959, an estimated 1,000,000 had rolled off of the assembly lines.

This auction is for a set of two reproduction prints. Each will be provided on artist quality, acid-free, 60-pound parchment style paper as shown above.

Prints are 8.5" by 11.0" (21.6 by 27.9 cm) in size and are ready to frame for display. 

They are packaged in archive-safe, acid-free sleeves and shipped flat in a stiffened mailer to ensure safe arrival.

Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed

These are the finest available reproductions of the original patent drawings, prepared using documents obtained directly from the United States Patent and Trademark Office that I have painstakingly restored to ensure gallery-grade image quality.
