Yeah, it's a 1st generation 1R(ecord) stem from the mid 70's
Cinelli started using the flying C as the logo around 1979
Stems like that with Cinelli written on the face plate are quite collectable.
The plate itself pops out easily if you're careful.
But since your stem seems to be in good cosmetic condition, apart from the crack, sell it complete. Hopefully you have the bolts and wedge.
Someone will pay quite a bit for it.
