32 days till Halloween....really?

Should be lots to show off today with the Swap season starting this past month.

So, let's see what relics you've found from the past week.
Whether, it be bike related or not.
Please, include pictures as we do love pictures!

Yard sale time too...

I went to an estate auction mid-week. The woman who had passed was over 100. Her husband had passed 10 years ago in his mid nineties. They had married back in 1935. I talked with one of the relatives who told me his grandfather had wanted to ride his bike shortly before he died. He was helped on and He rode in the driveway with some helpers standing alongside

A 36? BFGoodrich Schwinn built double bar with the straight back locking fork and flat fender braces. Serial number is the large 36 style but I thought the footed badges were used a little later.

A 39 Monark Rocket girls bike. Bike has a real nice single bolt front loader with the Delta script on the lens.

Both bike's were the absolute last items sold, it was already dark. It took hours for the auction but I'm glad I waited it out, there was little interest in the bike's and no other collectors.

Unfortunately both bike's have been painted blue and the chrome silver. But he took good cars of them, both are still well greased and ready to ride.

Great week at trexlertown! Got great deals on a 41 BFG and a 35 double diamond badged “World”. Also picked up a elgin frame and fork i’m going to build into a klunker of some sort and my dad got a 24 inch klunker for $35!

A 1938 Huffman Super Streamline came my way this week. It has been fun trying to puzzle out some of the quirkiness of the bike (crescent instead of gothic fenders, and correct painted fork but without the truss braces). Anyway it looks like the paint will come back great, it is Packard green. I have a couple working theories, one is the front end of the bicycle may have been run over by a car. It is possible replacement parts were ordered and sent in the correct color but not the exact type. Any other Huffmans out there in this color?

I also picked up a scrappy metal sided tool bag at the Round Top, Texas antique shows.

Here is a TOC sterling silver "Dyke Name Plate" head badge that was made briefly by a New York jeweler that could be hand engraved with your details. This one reads: "R.G. Evans, 809 Mellon St." I bought it a few weeks ago but just got around to polishing it.

I had a good week pick up this colson Rover blister tank women's model. I got it from the original women's son. She cleaned up pretty well. Then I found a colson bullnose as well!

Great show at Trexlertown yesterday. Pricing seemed a little all over the place, but I did extremely well. Picked up a CWC fender set & a couple of chain guards for current projects. A great rack from Howard, pair of really nice Fat Franks & a metal clad to get my 1918 Crown back on the road. Got a great head badge from Sam for my 1897 Crescent. Probably the best, was resisting the temptation of a decrepit, stripped, rust bucket of a loop tail that was calling me.

I picked up a few smalls at Jaf/Co’s Swap yesterday, and had a really great time talking to some of the Cabers. A Evans-Colson EvanAction springer fork, to good a deal to pass up, and a Shelby rack for my Wishbone frame 39 Shelby with correct colors.

I've been digging so heavily on the early CWC double bar motor bike style, that I finally broke down and bought one. While not a 36 like I initially wanted, still a great 37 with a B serial and cool old repaint. I’ve made a couple of changes to it, but have yet to clean it up. Man, there is no denying the sexiness of those lines.
