Does Anyone Have Resource Materials/Brochures/Detailed Photos on Excelsiors?

Willardm,
The jpegs say $7 and $35 Excelsior - is that what you paid?!

 

[willardm]

Yeah. Purchased them at local auctions. The one for $7 was in a pile of old bicycles and parts. I had to take five other old bikes along with it, a 50's lady's Hawthorne with lighted rear carrier, jeweled tank early 50's men's JC Higgins and the others I don't recall off hand. All now in a similar pile in my attic.

Excelsior Brochure

Found an Excelsior brochure from 1921. I have others but have no idea where to look. Hope this one helps.

Did you ever find anything out about your excelsior? looks simular to one i just got

Finally went out and took a couple photos. Both bicycles are in need of a lot of work. Still looking for the brochure that must be packed away in the garage but it's been too cold to get enthusiastic about looking much yet.

Ace Thanks! Real beauty, by far the sweetest paint scheme. Has anyone seen other Excelsiors with with "flared" mudguards? I have them on my 24 Excelsior. I have found lit that suggests that International stamping first offered fenders w/ built in splasher in 1914?
