Ok...here's the story. I got a call from a older gentleman that said he had recently bought a house with a nice out building and an old barn. He said he had a bunch of old bike parts and car parts he wanted to get rid of that were inside the barn. He sent me some pictures and I about fell over when I saw what was 2 jeweled Autocycle tanks. I asked if they were complete and he said..."why yes they are!" He also sent pictures of some other older bikes and other stuff. So...I told him I wanted it all. I went down and got the lot. The Autocycle tanks are complete with opening door and other parts. There are only a couple of dings that I will be taking out on Monday and you can still see slightly the original decals on both tanks. The bike behind the tanks is an Elgin. The 2 bikes seen in the other picture....one is a J.C. Higgins and the other I am not sure??? So..your help is need on identifying that one. I got other frames and lights and fenders....and wheels, tanks and other stuff too. I just got back...so I will be cleaning up the stuff and going through it all to see just what I have.

Cool pics you might consider not cleaning them or repairing them AT ALL they may be worth more as is. Cleaning and repairing them could de-value them without you evan knowing it. Currently they are in an "un-moleseted state" Most collectors would prefer them as is. Up for offers/trades yet? Please contact me.

I won't be cleaning them much. Just enough to get the cobwebs out of the insides and a bit of dust that has collected inside of them. I am unloading everything out of the boxes today and seeing what all I have. I want to try and get more detailed pics and post them too. I am keeping everyone posted as I figure out what I am doing with all the stuff.
I do know that one tank is black and the other is like a brownish/maroon color?
