HIGHLY MOTIVATED - Davis Sewing, Huffman, Huffy

[Daytonman]

Thanks for filling in the history. Huffman kept National as a brand when Huffman Manufacturing started making bikes again mid-30's. They had like five versions of the National badge from what I can tell.

I am HIGHLY MOTIVATED to purchase almost anything Davis Sewing, Huffman, or Huffy related, especially original literature or head badges. For a variety of reasons, I'm not in a position to purchase actual bicycles. And I don't have the mechanical talent or instincts to do restorations so parts and such aren't something I need.

Original catalogs, advertising items, or head badges are definitely desired.

With regard to head badges, below are the best versions of the badges I have. I am interested in any available that I am missing, or of those I have, any in better condition.

For badges, in particular I am looking for examples - in good condition - of the following:

Davis Dayton
Davis Snell
Davis Yale
Davis National

Huffman Snell
Huffman National (any version)
Huffman Davis Flyer
Huffman Shooting Star
Huffman Zephyr (with train)

Huffy Convertible

I understand how rare and expensive good condition examples of these are, but if you've got a price, I'm interested. I don't have unlimited resources, but I'll meet it if I can.

Same goes for catalogs. If you're willing to part with something for a price, give me the price! Again, I'll meet it if I can.

Thanks!

Mark Huffman

Hi..I just posted an 1899 Dayton Catalog that may be of interest. https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/1899-bicycle-catalog-davis-sewing-machine-co-the-dayton.182420/

Hey, thanks! Sorry to be just replying, I moved over the past month and been kind of distracted. Fortunately, I've already got two of these, but I appreciate the heads up. Let me know if anything similar comes up!

Greetings, I am an owner of a Dayton Davis bicycle 1917-22, and collect Dayton Davis artifacts. I might be interested in the catalog. How much you asking for it? BikeMike

it would probably be more appropriate to start your own tread!

Kansan and I traded some images and he's got a National of Bay City Michigan badge. These things are virtually identical, and he wasn't aware of the sale to Davis sometime in the teens. That's why we CABE.

May need to borrow this !!!
