I recently acquired the bicycle shown in the attached photos. I'm an antique advertising collector and don't know anything about antique bicycles, but knew that I wanted to own it the first time I saw it. I’ve only found a couple examples of Union Cycle Mfg Co. bikes on the internet, but none of them match this one. Prior to acquisition, it had been in the same family for at least 50 years and may have been since it was originally purchased.
I am hoping to learn more information about it – like the year manufactured, the model, value, who does restoration/preservation work, etc. I've found a couple pieces of advertising for the company, but haven't found any other examples on the internet matching this bicycle. Any help/info would be greatly appreciated.
