My guess early Excelsior script was a silver foil, but that's just a guess. At this point the size is more needed, and my guess on that is around 6".
Any examples out there!!
Could you scale up the image/artwork of the tank to actual size and base the size of the lettering on that? You'd really just need to do the toolbox tank door and take measurements from there. (I think, no artist here for sure)
Heres a 1915 on Worthpoint. Maybe someone knows who currently owns this bike?
The font in the graphic looks like a script like the decals for sale on ebay, are these for the later 30s ballooners?
Wooops, ignorant as charged! Thanks for correcting. I thought I had seen a reference that Schwinn bought our Excelsior in 1912 so just assumed if this was 1915 it would be Schwinn. Of course, no idea if it really is 1915 as it didn't have the qualifier of my generation, "as seen on TV!"
But wait, on third or fourth look doesn't the head badge say Mfd. By Arnold Schwinn Chicago...
