S/N is Feb '63, and bike is og paint etc (PO put on newer bars, rear rack and light)- thought the starbursts were only 61-62, so wondering if this early '63 got one too? Anyone else have a '63 with one?

leftover

I have a Traveller frame with a date of 11.23.62. (SA hub was also dated 62)

My BIke was in bad shape and I was only able to salvage a few parts (including the badge!) but it wouldn't surprise me if this bike was marketed or updated for sale in 1963 as a 1963.

By the way, yours looks great!

there is a fair amount of overlap iv seen in the bike world,perfectly acceptable to a degree,a starburst badge onna 70 prolly wouldnt cut it.
