This came on a Mint Boss complete bike that I bought the other day and I was told this is a Boss stem. Anyone know what this is? What is that logo on the top? Appears to be very well made, but very strange design.

That is a VG stem!

VG components are well sought after by the mid school crowd... post up in mid school discussions

VG also made the Boss stems.

Hey Ken, I found these and Rick showed me to that web archive:

hey ken what are you doing with the Boss?

Thanks Everyone! You guys are such a wealth of knowledge!

Very cool!

Steve, Sold the Boss the other day. I just didn't know what to do with this stem. I'll just pop it on eBay later today unless one of you guys needs it.

I know what it is...ugly.

LOL!

Looks kind of like some sort of designer toilet...

ooooooooooh thats a left handed steam shifter,i think by the same company that made the turbo gungulator valves for the 1973 ford pinto...what a car.

they made lots of orange and purple and green anno parts. that should give you a good idea of the time of their popularity.

I know you old school guys really dig that mid school flare just admit it.

OK, I'll admit this..."I" don't dig the mid-school flair, no matter what color it's anno'ed....Still ugly....lol

midscool and 'flair' work well together....like..midschool and fabulous..lol
