Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
Here's another badge I have!Bringing this old thread back to life, got some good info-
So Nick is building a Black Beauty, has the headbadge from the early 1919ish Schwinn-looking one (see pics), but badge says Haverford Cycle Co, Philadelphia, PA- did Haverford build their own bikes, or did Schwinn build them? And could Mead have supplied any parts, like the coat hanger fender braces?
Nick is still looking for frame/tank?/fork/fenders for this style BB if anyone has anything they're not attached to, please let us know.

Wore out three sets of tires already!
I agree, the Nick/Darcie Black Beauty frame Looks like Schwinn to me.
The single rivet fender braces are Schwinn, the fork is Schwinn, the frame-integrated stand stops
are shown in 1917 Schwinn catalog
same braces, frame-integrated stand stops
these deluxe fenders appear to have wire braces, practically the same bright green
what is the serial number on the bottom?

I live for the CABE
I swear I saw there was a later Black Beauty bicycle, like early 40's It definitely was a ballooner.

Haverford was in business from 1896 to 1922-3.
They bought a new building in 1919, but there was
trouble in bicycle market in 1921-22 that killed them and also Davis Sewing.
The Black Beauty brand seems to emerge in 1917 and go until 1921-22.
Presumably DPHarris/Snyder acquired what remained of Haverford
because the Black Beauty brand and badges show up again in the 30's
on bikes sold through hardware stores and Island Cycle Supply.
