I posed this question on the Antique Automobile Club of America forum a number of months ago and never did get a single response...
Does anyone know when the earliest bicycle carrying rack for cars was made? Or, at least, what is the earliest that you have seen?
Searching through period photographs and auto catalogs they don’t really seem to appear until the 1950’s. This interesting 1917 patent drawing turned up on a similar question posed on the Model T Ford Club forum. It’s the earliest that I have come across.

Has anyone seen anything earlier?
I’d be interested in any information you might have - period photographs, period magazine or catalog advertisements, patent drawings.
Thanks,
Ben P.
