Early Huffman stem question

[fordmike65]

This goes out to the Huffman gurus of the group. Did Huffman use anything besides the Wald #3 knuckle stem in '36? I see just about every model in '36 tends to come equipped with this stem, even the top of the line Safety Streamline. I believe it was introduced in 35-36, so it makes sense for a cutting-edge bicycle manufacturer to use the latest & greatest. I have seen ladies with the short no-reach Torrington stem, but did they ever use the popular Torrington Deco stem of the time? Or the standard Torrington "moto" style stem? Asking for a friend who doesn't particularly care for the #3

Thanks in advance for the help. Mike

As you say the girls used the no-reach on their lower level models but everything else I see in the '36 cat shows the Wald 3. @New Mexico Brant @John V/r Shawn

I sure like the paint scheme on that ladies Dayton. Guess your friend shoulda got a 37 so they can spend 800 bucks or so on an original putter stem.
