19?? Monark Silver King Rocket-Attic Find!

[Antney]

Hello, I just found this bike this morning on Craigslist in Oklahoma, It's a one owner bike that's been in the attic for over 50 years. Can anyone help me date this bike? It's completely original, has the headlight, a really cool bell and a Stewart Warner Speedo. Tag on the bottom says; Model 3106, SN: A0458220. I gave $100 for it. I'm new at this but I don't think I got hurt on it??? Any info on this bike, rarity, value etc. would be greatly appreciated...Thanks, Tony:o

That's no bell! It's a Klaxon!

Is a Klaxon something special??? never heard of it??

 

[DonChristie]

The Klaxon is worth a C-note. Nice bike!

You bet thats a good score! Nice lookin bike....not missing the light like a lot of bikes....plus the speedo WITH the cable, the horn, the nice patina, clean it up and ride it!

That's most likely a 1948 by the serial #. What a find!
