Iver Johnson Boy Scout bikes

[ivrjhnsn]

Here's another topic I've wondered about. Does anyone on the CABE have a complete Iver Johnson Boy Scout model, or ever seen one ?
I have seen alot of Camp Fire Girl bikes and only have a Boy Scout frame. In over 20 years of collecting, have never seen or heard of a complete bike with Boy Scout decal on it, This never built frame I have would take 24" wheels. Notice the drop out adjusters installed for keeping the threads clean during the painting process.
The 2 pins are another story. I just started to collect them, and found out that there were at least two different manufacturers of them. Maybe I need to make a goal of 100 Boy Scout pins to display next to my wrenches that are awaiting a display case.
Winter's coming, and so does the spending of more time on the CABE

Huh, now that you mention it, I've never seen one either - interesting.

Others may pop up here and there but I doubt if there will ever be another to have such a nicely preserved decal/graphic on the downtube that says "Boy Scout" as this one. I dare say it's almost perfect ! Pete in Fitchburg

Well,, you ever have too many bikes and overlook some ? This one has been hanging in the garage for a couple year and today I finally see it,, again. Here's an Iver Boy Scout, circa 1923 . 24" wheels . The paint is pretty much gone, but if you wet the down tube, vague remnants of the decal are there.
Wrong fork and misc other things. Future project.. Anyone have a 24" Iver fork

Well,, you ever have too many bikes

I don't understand what you are saying... "you ever have too many bikes" ..... Is that a real thing? How can someone have too many bikes?
