Sold 1920s Camelback for Sale.

[oldiron73]

For Sale is a Camelback bike thinking late 20s maybe earlier not sure. Has 28” rims. More about bike listed below

Has a unique badge from a hardware store/bigger store back in the day.
Mostly a complete bike except for seat, kickstand and newer tires. Tire size is in picture. It does ride and stop but will need to be gone through. Someone painted it awhile back.
Asking 475.00 or best offer

Any idea on Mfg.?

 

[oldiron73]

No. Hopefully on the Cabe I’ll find some info on it. The badge is definitely different/unique.

 

[oldiron73]

Hopefully someone will chime in on the bike for more info.

Hi @oldiron73 @kshimp41

It seems that Charles Williams Stores of New York were a catalogue company, and only in operation from 1913 to 1928.

How wide are those bars?

Nice bike.
I believe that Charles (one "s") William stores may have been supplied by Davis at one time (reads 1917).

But there could have been other suppliers, perhaps depending on which year?

The chain ring sprocket looks to have 24-teeth, (slacking the chain), and making the bike easier for junior to pedal.
