Were there ever green fenders on a Davis Sewing carmine bike? I feel like I read this somewhere in this thread, but I can't find.

@mrsmith35sg ... I've never heard of a thing like this ...
but that doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Davis built machines not for the good it would do them ..
but they were built to sell at a profit. Could be the original
owner asked for some ''custom'' fenders -- at an upcharge,
of course.

Could be the original owner worked at the Davis plant ...

Do these fenders look like they are original to the factory.

You pose a good question, young man.

Thanks .....

Factory lit indicates the Dayton bicycle was offered in
Carmine or Black, only.

When you have time ... howza 'bout splashin' some more
fotos of your machine in this thread ? Thanks ......

You sir are correct - that's actually why I was asking about it. I need a "more original" Dayton than my 1919 that's been repainted for my Dayton history themed bar and restaurant.

And thank you hoofhearted for the input!

I've been thinning out the picture archive, and I thought I'd post this one here for posterity.
