Help me uncover Atlanta bicycle history

Right, I do believe these and the bars on the first Cohen to be California bars.

Hey, how are you today? I love photo of the fellow wearing the Walco shirt. I'd like to use it in the book I'm working on. Do you know who owns the photo? Thanks, Barry

I'm happy to add to this thread because on Friday I came across a badged Barry Cohen Special, it's a girls bike, looks like a 30's CWC with those cool California bars otherwise no tank, rack, truss bars... It's my second Atlanta badged bike. Serial # attached to help w/ the date.

Thanks, Mike

I was going to give you credit for the photos I would like to use. I'll change it from you owning it, to photos courtesy of American Vintage Bicycle Supply. Thanks, Barry

Yes sir... it is. There’s 1941 Autocycle behind the badge!

Barry, I do not know specifically what he sold. I’m not even sure where he sold bikes from a bike shop, hardware or department store?
