Cruisin' on my Bluebird
I have been working on an early Shelby wood-rim 28-er that was mostly complete sans BADGE, a common disappointment for many. The bike has a Meiselbach fork and the early serial number of 205150 which could possibly put it in the 1921 to 1925 range, when Shelby Cycle Frame builders founded by AD Meiselbach was turning out frames and forks. In 1923, apparently a deal was struck to make a Shelby-badged bike for Chicago Cycle Supply company. CCSC also purchased the entire output of these early Shelby frames and forks and most likely mounted a variety of badges on them....
Can someone here interpret what this distinctive badge shadow could have been? Someone would know. Photos of the bike in question with badge outline and 2-3/16" screw spacing. Thanks in advance!
