Riding my '39 Silver King 26X
Just picked up this neat odometer... seems to be turn of the century or teens. It's marked 28" on the back so I assume it's for a 28" wheel safety bike.
The dial is porcelain like early pocket watches, in fact the maker is New York Standard Watch Co.
The indices are marked in "20 Yard Units", as seen at the top of the dial, and there is a blued steel needle that travels around the outside edge. It works nicely too; the needle travels the circumference and the numbers click over.
Case looks to be nickel plated brass, and the crystal is thick and beveled, likely original glass.
Thought ya'll would like to see it. If anyone has any more info on it, I'd like to hear from you!
