Nice score crispy, I forgot to brag on this thread- when I thrifted a late 1940’s 501 in my size…3 weeks back
Enough about me, nice pick up.

Picked this up the other day. Apparently, they are under the name of Sailfish SeaVees by PF Flyers. Not very familiar with this, other than the namesake of the manufacturer.
In terms of its all around conditions, it’s in pretty good shape. No sign of any usage. Though I can’t tell about the date of its production. All I know, thanks to Google, is that Sailfish dates back from the early 60s ?

I’m guessing 29 is the shortest length before you go down to kids sizes?

I’ve seen 29L a bunch of times, not super common...my true length BTW
I would be a tall human if I didn’t inherit some short wheels from my parents.
