This is what I wanted the reader to see ...

Bought a half-dozen of these from MLC ...
some twenty years ago ... NOS ... marked
''Patent 1914'' - may have also said ''Pending''.


Fifteen Simoleons a copy ... did not know what
they were at the time. Who ever does ?


Now believe they are a Miami product .. but can't
be sure. Thoughts ?


And now I can't find a single one in my boneyard ...
Haven't seen any - since the river took Emy Lou.


Altho' .. @sm2501 Scott McC. may have them .......

Hi Pat , do you think miami ,merkal ever made frames for mead ? Thanks Brian

===========================================

Well ..Brian ... Miami Cycle & Manuf. Co. did make bicycles
featuring their many badge names .. and many were made
for numerous hardware companies -- sporting the hardware
company's private badge design ... but I have seen no evi-
dence of a Mead connection.


Now, this does not mean there was never a connection .. it jusr
means I've personally never seen one.


But there are a bunch of things I've never seen ... antimatter ..
blackholes ... actual Megalodon Sharks living in the Mariana-
Trench ... Bigfoot ... and Padre Pio.


..... patric

This is so enhanced, my eyes are bleeding...
 
Had no idea Flying Merkel bicycles existed. Saw several Flying Merkel motorcycles at the Wheels Thru Time museum in NC, a place I would recommend anybody to visit. Awesome.
