I've got an Arnold Schwinn & Co. (E) badge just like the one shown here.
I've always been curious about it, because what Schwinn bought, was the Excelsior Motor Manufacturing and Supply Company of Chicago. Which I thought was completely unrelated to the Michigan City Indiana Excelsior.
The stylized (E) badge is clearly a Michigan City Excelsior badge, so what gives with the AS&Co. version?
