Sunday's Show and Tell 1/10/20

Picked these up Friday, Craigslist ad that was in my neighborhood! I don't know much about these bikes, but both are "restored". The price was right. (I hope!)
The Super Deluxe needs some love at the stem/forks/springs. Not sure if it's missing some pieces or the parts are on the bike correctly as it sits. I will be reposting the Monark in the correct forum for this advise.

This is the Headbadge on the ladies' bike. Hawthorne Montgomery Ward. It still had tape on it from the frame being repainted. This is as far as I got so far peeling it off. It has taken some of the red off the badge! :(

I have no idea if I did bad or good on this deal... $150.
 
Who else saw this funky tandem on ebay?
I don't get it, but I bought it. No clue what is going on with the stoker bottom bracket arrangement, or that brace / captain seatpost clamp setup.

It has a few pieces of hardware I can use, among them a good men's solo pedal and a "cord attachment" for the elusive Bevin Alarm.

Been working on ANOTHER tandem acquisition for a while that made it here this past week. This one is significantly more exciting but it will be a long road to Wellville.
This double diamond "double wishbone" seat tube frame has been discussed here on the CABE but it has been some years now so I look forward to bringing fresh energy and eyes to it.
I have most of the hardware that it was discovered with, I think the last few surviving pieces that I'm missing will be found, I can relate to misplacing tiny bits.
Not sure what it is yet, Graham, Fowler, and America are all obvious contenders but the use of D&J bottom brackets, Thor seatpost couplings, Ideal / Thor cooperative fittings and Orient? chainwheels really confuses the possible identity. Seemingly Fowler and America both used their own proprietary hardware quite consistently, I have yet to find an example (although I'm open to seeing them) of a Fowler or America bike using D&J bottom bracket hardware.

I thought it might have been a custom tandem for Charles B Tripp & Eli Bowen and realized that Eli wouldn't have been able to see. Maybe that's why they didn't use it :)
