Called shop that advertise antique bike specialists. Bicycle Museum of America. Emailed Bells England because they
restored a Hetchins tandem from the 30's that is almost identical except for the lugs. Emailed Chayel Lea but no reply.. No other search came as close as the Hetchins Any help would be thankful. Mike of Antque Archiology is interested in it and asked me how much I want. Have no idea what it is. Want to see it restored, would love to restore it but depending on available parts cost I might let it go to someone with the network of people to do so. Would love to ride at least once completely restored then let it go to a good home.
Thank you all for your help.
