I'm sure many of you, like me, have seen this decal / image appear on seat tubes and in early 1920's advertisements but it has always bothered me a bit that I didn't really understand the significance.
I have been piecing together thoughts and references on the subject and I wanted to see what the hive mind had to say?
My theory is this decal / image is meant to indicate participation in the 1920 "National Advertising Campaign to Promote Bicycling" as mentioned at the bottom of the Kokomo Everlaster tire advert attached.
Also attached are multiple images showing early 1920's Chicago Handlebar Co adverts also showing the same image.
Any thoughts from you cycle-scholars?
