WIth recent bikes it's easy to determine a value based on purchase price and replacement value. With something as old and rare as your Long John there isn't much to base a valuation on. There aren't even others to be found for sale to compare to. My guess is that even if it's a really cool and nice example of an old Long John the value would be disappointingly low. They just don't seem to be as sought after as the more standard format delivery bikes and big Dutch trikes (bakfietsen). Both of these fetch decent sums on the online markets.

Those are pretty common here. A kid's long john I've never seen though we've been joking about making a couple at WorkCycles. jeff,
