1939 Mercury??

[Bob W]

One of my biking friends posted this picture on FB. It belongs to his mom who is 85 and she got at age 11. We are thinking it is around 1939. Is there any way to prove the age of the bike. I looks to be a nice bike in really decent shape since it was kept in a dry shed most of the time.

That sounds about right, I'm sure someone on here could confirm this for you.

That is a really nice mercury for sure you got there with that paint scheme ive never seen before . That bike in that condition you got is worth some nice money!!

1939-41 I believe. Pretty nice, though a lit tank model would fetch a bit more moola. Bet it'll clean up nice.

Okay, this is an awesome bike. Not the typical "mom's old bike" that turns up on here; this is a real find. He'd likely find a buyer on here if he was interested in selling.

Hi George

Hey George ( Goldengreek).
I am just over the border from PA by the GAP. I get lots of my bikes from that area.
Just thought I would post my request in the forum to stake the first claim.
Also, my Corvette is a 1978 L-48, so it's not quite as fast as the newer ones, but it is really pretty!

Help me out fellow CABERS, I really want this Mercury...You know how I love the ladies!.................Wayne
