Here's another "not previously listed" French example that sold on Ebay France last week.
It comes from the famous French manufacturer 'J.B. Louvet'.
All that you see could have been yours for €1,676 euros, plus shipping etc....

Advertised as being from the teens/twenties, but possibly an earlier 'Labor' copy if that "dents sautees" (skiptooth) chain ring is original!

...however, this actual example was very recently rediscovered by Camille Cassou of 'Cycles 1900' over in France.....

...it sold pretty rapidly.

Here's a link to more of the images on Camille's excellent website, There's also a 1920's 'Moro' truss-bridge for sale on there too. Yes 'Moro', not 'Morot' like my example!

Wow!
That Royal Sabine find is fantastic!
What a beautiful catalog that link is.
Thanks for posting, Darren.
 
The Red Wing bicycle company, from what I've been able to gather, was an obscure New England bicycle company that apparently only made arch bar bicycles. Just flip the frame over & you have a girls bike. Apologies to the Westfield aficionados here for the chain guard.

As an update on the above post (#92 in this thread) here is the very 'Moro' I mentioned, pictured last Sunday morning, alongside my 'Morot'.....

...my friend and riding buðdy Jamie purchased it back in June, and this was its first outing.
At the time of writing, the 'Moro' is one of two known surviving examples and the 'Morot' is one of one; I still hope to find information about it one day.
