Great Machine you have !!
CAUTION ... Avoid any inclination to clean this badge.
This machine may be the only example of a Schwinn-Built
CHICYCO (CHIcago CYcle COmpany) Bicycle known, bearing
that particular badge. It is very important that the badge
stay with this particular machine.
Purchased the only-known example of this badge from notable
Chicago-area collector >>> Ed Boros (d.).. maybe in the late eighties
or early nineties. He did not want to sell it. Ed's beautiful wife
would not let him refuse my offer. He sold it to me.
Wasn't looking for a deal .. just wanted to own that badge.
It was easily a grail badge in my collection. The badge .. and
the smaller version now-reside in the collection of Scott McCaskey.
Paid a bundle for that badge. When Scott purchased nearly 99%+
of my badge collection, this past April .. he received this badge.
Hell, yes, he paid a bundle.
That badge was one of the ''Native American'' figures depicted on
American bicycle badges in my collection. The image does not
represent any particular Native American.
There may be a lot of nickel plate remaining on your badge. Any
chemical or abrasive that might be used to make it look ''all shiny''
... would not honor your badge. If you must futz with the badge ...
hire CABE Administrator, @Dave Stromberger
The previous paragraph applies to the bicycle, as well.
The less that badge is handled -- the better.
You are very fortunate to own this machine.
