Fabulous Vintage 1925 AMA (American Motorcycle Assoc.) Gypsy Tours Watch Fob

ARTIFACT: Fabulous vintage 1925 American Motorcycle Association (AMA) Gypsy Tour watch fob. 1925 was the first year the AMA sanctioned the tour. Gypsy tours comprised of a group of riders from all over that would converge on a favorite destination, the term gypsy was used because of the far reaching corners the riders would come from, camping and sleeping in tents along the way.
