But still a pretty good sized gap with no mention of Hendee making bicycles after 1904. It's interesting that there were "reports" that they discontinued making bicycles. Could it be that they actually had stopped making bicycles but still had to sell their back stock? This was when the ABC trusts were crashing and the market was making more than the demand for pedaled machines. If the "reports" were true, it would be harder to sell last years stock as new so it was in their best interests to deny such reports.

Indian memorabilia always amazes me with the prices they bring. If an Indian item comes up you better have a fat wallet waiting if you plan to get it. This postcard sold on ebay for $227 last night. I was thinking $125 would buy it, learning with Indian items I need to double what I think & I might be close not that I would have bid $250 on this item but it is pretty cool. It was damaged by the way, a 1/4 inch strip had been cut off the left side and it still brought $227.

Thats what I'm thinking...Hendee was bigger then life, he always swung to hit a home run. I'm guessing he proliferated his shop with a high volume of bike inventory. After all the first years of the Indian "Camelback" moto cycle was built on a bicycle diamond frame http://www.backfirealley.com/images/indian-single-1904.jpg...it wasn't until 1906 that the company broke away from tradition and introduced its first V-twin factory racer http://www.backfirealley.com/images/1907-Indian-Twin.jpg 1907 was the first production of the v-twin.
