La France Badge

[partsguy]

I have been taking a liking, albeit in steps, to the simpler, earlier bikes. One that catches my eye is the Dayton La France, 'tho I have yet to see a real La France badge up close in person. Only bike I saw in person was a pretty blue one at Carillon Park. I thought someone could use this badge on their restoration, not my listing.

Yea it's like saying "Cadillac Chevrolet". Why people tend to call all Huffman products Daytons is beyond me. Dayton was a Huffman brand just like National, Dixie Flyer, Snell, Zephyr, LaFrance, etc... So... back to the beginning this should have been referred to as a Huffman LaFrance. V/r Shawn
