Anyone know how many Schwinn headbadges were used?

Barny,
Did you find this one in your research ?

A Schwinn style Footed Badge from Portland, Oregon.

Thank you! I did see that one, maybe the same one you have? Have you seen it on a Schwinn bike? Thanks, Barry

Was the Majestic badge from a mail order catalog or was it a hardware store brand?
The reason I ask, is because my 1946 Schwinn built Whizzer is badged Majestic, and I thought it strange that they sold a Whizzer kit.

I don't think it had anything to do with a Hardware store. Just another name Schwinn used. Barry

Bob according to the list you sent me from the Schwinn family archives I counted 897 different badges?

Trust me....I've tried and tried...but there is only room for ONE badge on the front of those
head tubes.

So the answer clearly is ONE

NEVER speak of the archives in such a 'public' manner!!!

I will never let you in the vault again!

The semi secret archives here show well over 200 so far, along with photos of Schwinn's with the badges. Just scratching the surface! lol

Are you guys counting the "Maurice Frank" Omaha badge?
He was the first Schwinn dealer in Omaha, late 1930's.
