Thanks!

They are steel. Thanks.

Finally finished getting my ‘36 Firestone ready to ride.

Looking for some info on the pictured head badge. I know this company made fiberglass bodied turnpike cruisers like where used at LeSourdsville Amusement Park and maybe others. Wondering if anyone knows if this was maybe a motorized bicycle or scooter of some kind. Thanks in advance

Yes

More vehicles....no bikes. Been eyeballing this on Facebook for several months. Made the 6 hour round trip this morning and brought it home.

In no particular order. Some garage sales, some trash picking and my F100 hit the street for the first time in a month after finishing up the lowering job. Maybe now I can get back to bicycle hunting.

Here’s a couple when I picked it up last summer. Went to Welcome, NC and brought it back to Ohio. One family owned since new and the fella I bought it from was a poker playing buddy of Richard Childress. Since we where only a quarter mile away from his race shop we had to stop and visit the...

Been working on my ‘64 f100. Old school lowering job. Nostalgia Sid’s dropped axle and Posies springs. Spent yesterday detailing up the hardware and now on to the rear stuff. This weeks finds for me is a pile of parts

Something new... something old. Picked up a Turner Toys fire truck, an unmarked Popeye bank that a friend found in a clean out of an old Dayton, Ohio foundry building and a J&S Products die cast car with working suspension that was made in Los Angeles. While I was cleaning these I dug out this...

Good week of foraging! Doepke Jag, Tonka Green Giant semi, nice embossed speed limit sign and an Evel lunch box. I’ve bought many prints over the years that I love. Framing is expensive so they usually live in their packing tubes. I love Keith Weesner’s work. A few of his prints framed...

Been on a toy binge over the last couple of months. I’ve ran out of room to display and still keep my wife happy. 30’s era Buffalo/ Lindstrom skeeter bug, unknown to me aluminum 30’s Indy car and a Wyandotte Dodge truck.

Couple of trucks. A nice original Smith Miller, Pacific Intermountain Express and a really cool Wyandotte truck and shovel. I love the styling of the Wyandotte truck and the bull dog hood ornament on the PIE truck.

The good, the bad and the ugly.....found some stuff to satisfy my addiction. Some to keep....most to flip. The wagon is a Dayton, O made Son-ny. It’s a keeper....my sweetheart has already decorated it. I also bought 13 bikes from one person. A few of what I brought home. The rest I gave to my...

Been a few weeks for me. Collecting and sharing this stuff makes me happy. Appropriate for the holiday....a U.S. Navy “UNION JACK”, a Wyandotte retractable hard top car, Pepsi cooler, automotive cabinet and some local advertising stuff. I really like the smallest button from a Dayton Toy co. I...

2019 so far has been awesome for picking for me so far. Flea market yesterday yielded some interesting stuff.... A hand painted sign, a Toledo stool, some fiberglass playground ride on toys, and a TOC cast iron bell with an Ohio farm equipment company’s name. Also picked up a 1967 Bonneville...

Pair of salt and pepper shakers from the old Tropics restaurant here in Dayton. A 1965 Pence Drag Strip trophy. Pence was north of Piqua, Ohio and is a gravel pit today. A really cool unidentified carnival ride car. Last but not least and my favorite.......a new 5 Gallon bucket for my youngest...

The carb is what you think it is. I did my homework before I bought them. The carb is the secondary half of dual quads, air tubes and no choke was the clue.....the engine is ‘57 Chevy. Good eye. There where actually more....

Couple of vintage engines. ‘67 Pontiac 230 overhead cam Sprint 4 barrel engine and a ‘57 Chevrolet 283 power pack engine. A few older kit built control line airplanes. Banned to the garage for now as they are filthy. Last but not least a couple of Japanese wooden electric model boats.

Picked up the Hemi Dodge wagon I bought several weeks ago.....pretty rough. Also ran across some awesome wooden boat models that were built by a very talented gentleman that is no longer with us. My wife wouldn’t let me bring one of them in the house......pretty easy to figure out why!!! It was...

‘53 276 Desoto Firedome, ‘55 Chrysler 331 FirePower, ‘54 Dodge Red Ram and a ‘55 260 Plymouth Polyspherical which is a Dodge RedRam hemi with different cylinder heads and exhaust manifolds....Shares everything else with the Hemi. I have two other first gens...a ‘53 331 Chrysler with Imperial...

Brought these home.... .......and while these aren’t new finds I thought some of the car guys here would like it. The weather is improving and hibernation for most around here is over. I had my F100 out yesterday for a cruise and stopped by an old friends place and he had his custom Mercury out...

22” frame from crank centerline to top of seat tube. I believe the tires are glue on.

Weekend bump.... thanks

For your consideration. 1917 Iver Johnson truss frame. 22” frame. No pedals or grips. $875 shipped as pictured to the lower 48. PayPal accepted friends and family. OPEN TO OFFERS

.....last but certainly not least. I was talking early 50’s Chrysler Hemis with an old childhood buddy. Told him I’d like to have a Dodge Hemi for a future retirement project. Told me he had a Red Ram....made a deal and bought it sight unseen. When I get there he has more...... the ‘54 Dodge 241...

Seems like I go for months and not find anything. Last couple of months I can’t leave the house without bringing something home. This week was incredible. Barn finds all the way down from 2 different places. As found last Sunday and cleaned up this week... Barn finds from yesterday...

For your consideration. $23 shipped. PayPal accepted. Pending to @3-speeder

Some garage art.....my wife said the handmade metal boxes are hers . If that keeps her happy..lol. Ice cream truck door is from a company here in Ohio. License plate frame is from a Buick dealer that was here in Brookville in the 50’s.

Thanks for posting this

Good week for me. Explosion proof lights are huge, heavy and the lenses are glass. Came from the old DP&L power station that use to sit along I-75 south of Dayton. Street sign is porcelain and was salvaged from Dayton also. New Carlisle bicycle license. 1968 Chevrolet truck promotion.

Awesome sign....I would love to have one of these made.

I’ve posted this in the past. My idea of preserving the crust. Respoked rims with used spokes, added pedals, recovered seat top (stradalite) using the unrestored undercarriage, new tires a few accessories, complete service and I can ride it anywhere. I love this thread. Thanks!

My 1936 Firestone Fleetwood. From what I gather it’s the end of the line for this frame style.

I usually like to take a current picture of my recent finds..... it’s snowing out and looks cold. So.... some pictures of when I went to look. Brought these home last week. A 1917 Iver Johnson Truss Bridge that was just hanging around. Also brought home a 1985 era Raymond Beadle Blue Max...

I do not have pedals for it. I was going to run a set of Torrington 8’s on it. Looking for input as to what it may have had. I don’t know when the drop stand was put on. It looks correct to me or at least Iver Johnson.

I was wondering if coke bottle or ball end grips would be appropriate for this bike based on these pictures. I borrowed these pictures from 47jchiggins 1915 Iver Johnson catalog that is for sale here on the Cabe.....thanks Todd. Also wondered if Torrington 8’s are close to correct. Thanks. Bars...

Finally ran across a project that I could afford and like. I believe it’s a 1917, give or take a little based on the info I found here on the CABE....thanks to those that post. Looks to have rims / hubs from the late 20’s or early 30’s. Plated, clad rims, Model C New Departure and a Germany...

Added 2 Tonka private label Allied Van Lines trucks to my growing fleet. I can’t find any bikes that either I like or can afford so I keep buying toys...not sure if my wife is as happy as I am. A ‘55 from Denver, Co. and a ‘63/64 from Dayton, Oh.

Couple of internet and antique mall purchases. I’ve got an attraction to antique glass used in utilitarian items. Not much for decorative glass....I love rusty iron, wood and glass mixed together.

Really nice, teens era, original paint, Schieble Toy and Novelty Co. Dayton, Ohio Fire truck.

Good week for me! Couple of F&F Mold Mustangs. A Wilkins/ Kingsbury late 1800’s ladder wagon. A turn of the century business card from my home town.... first bicycle related item I’ve found in months. Last but not least is an awesome turn of the century dragon porch light. Looks to have been a...

A Buffalo Toy Co. tin wind up car, a Buddy L wind up bus and a vintage Ohio thermometer.

Haven’t found a thing bicycle related lately....starting to wonder if there is anything left around here. Ever get that feeling? Did drag home some stuff I like though. A Dayton Friction Toy dump truck made here in Dayton in the 20’s. A Sinclair tanker and a Tonka Mighty wrecker to add to the...

Really happy about these finds. A couple of large battery operated 50’s era concept cars, a Cox gas powered Pinto Funny car and 3 nice painted label milk bottles for my collection.

I’m looking for a really crusty Davis Sewing bayonet crank. Rusty, pitted and no longer useable as a bike part is what I’m looking for. Would also be interested in pair of Davis pedals in the same condition. The worse the better. Thanks

Wanted one of these since the first time I saw one hanging above the McDonald's drive-thru. They have been building new McDonald's all around our area and I was able to find one...funny how simple stuff makes you happy Didn't know I wanted one of these till it fell in my lap. A real barn find...

A crusty 50's era 2 sided flashing light star. It hung on the front of an old barber shop near downtown Dayton. I used to drive passed it on my way to and from work years ago. Also an old Rike's sign from the side of one of their old delivery trucks.

Tim, unfortunately I will be in Indiana tomorrow. Lee if you happen to see this the block chain is beyond saving. It has several links rusted through. Hope to see you guys at one of the winter shows.
