Early 50’s Monark Super Deluxe

-
Thanks for all your replies. Much appreciated! I’ll see what this weekend brings. I’m hoping to make a deal if he will sell.
 
Looks like the crown medallion inserts ard missing on the tank ... it would be nice to see if seller has them as well
Good luck
Bob
There was one or two years where they just had this metal plate there with no medallion on it so this is correct. With the dual springer fork & train light this bike is a 1950 to 1952.

Good call. I was aware a couple of years ( I was not sure which years/you are the Monark "guy" Fizzer) that had those "blank" medallions, and it's difficult to tell in his picture if there is a void or blanks. Now Brian knows.

I think mine is a dressed up '48 I found back in the 90's barn painted all blue, sold to a buddy and he upgraded the rack, shroud etc. when he restored it, then I bought it back a few years ago. I feel I have a more correct '48 seat on it now, and an earlier Cadet black face speedo. I know the grips are not correct either, but dig the coke bottles.

I'm not trying to hi-jack the thread, but maybe help show the variations in lights, seat, medallions etc. Mine is a bit of a "mutt" ( not totally stock "correct") but a nice one as my pal did a quality resto/upgrade.

The medalliions are stainless steel with engraved circles. Mostly found on Firestones but occasionally on Monarks. The plastic ones don't hold up that well

Keep trying. The thing is with all these "pickers" shows on TV and the internet, some people think they have GOLD and spoil the actual value and interest for the "true" collector. BIG difference between collectors and "flippers/speculators" and money hungry clowns who just want it so no one else can. Ha!!

I have to totally agree with you on that! I’m definitely going to keep trying,...thanks!
