Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
Howdy, hopefully everyone is well.
I've had several DeLuxe Flyer head badges over the years but I've never known who sold the bicycles. All the ones I've seen on bikes were on late teens or early 20's Schwinn Motobikes. I even saw two of them in 2018 at the Sherman Iron Ranch Swap Meet. I have photos of several bicycles and still have one badge. Today I found out who sold them. I was on ebay and looked at a Montgomery Ward catalog from 1917 and found a picture of a DeLuxe Flyer bicycle with the badge pictured to the right of the bicycle. I was happier than #@*%! I had to buy it! Now I can add it to the chapter on Montgomery Ward & Company. Yahoo! Barry
