I've come into recent ownership of a Silver King Monark bicycle - it was in an old barn that was going to be burned down. As far as I know, it was purchased new by the owner of the barn and it has sat indoors for several decades without being touched. Here's what I do know:
The serial number is 21589, a tag on the back axel says New Departure Model D.
There is a keyhole on the steering column.
The seat looks very old, I don't know enough to say if it is original. The seat has a working latch compartment on the back with a reflector.
Both fenders are in place, slightly dented.
The front fender has a light housing on it, no bulb or protective lens.
I'll attach what photos I have - if there are other photos that are helpful, please let me know and I'll get them to you!
If you know anything about this bicycle, year, origin, model, market value, interesting tidbits, please let me know!
