What are the rarest prewar ballooner bicycles

[catfish]

Up there on the rare list!

How about the Alexander Rocket?
It could be called ugly as Jason sez, but I think it's beautiful, and there aren't many around...less than each of: Bluebird 1 & 2, Aerocycle, and Speedline?
I've never cared for the Aerocycle: I see a streamlined tank attached to an angular motorbike.
For me, CF is increased by rarity, not mass-appeal.

How many of these are there?

Nice! This is what I like to see. What's your guess on the count?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I'd ride it...

I know of six. Five complete originals and one restored. Only four with aluminum fenders. The other two have steal painted.

Sorry, I forgot there is a restored one in Texas. So, that makes seven.

I'd say the "Pacemacker" is the rarest of all. Never seen one of those

I would consider the '39 Hawthorne Zep (Twin bar) both rare and desirable and not in big numbers.
