More Pictures Of the Schwinn Museum (1995) Horde

[Goldenrod]

The 50 years of Schwinn book that was given to each employee in 1945 were like gold and then they found a closet full of them still boxed. I got one in the box and one out. The 1936(?) incorrect girls aluminum Monarck bike was the last complete bike to be sold. Were any of you Weasels there earlier? Shady sales was the talk at the time. What belonged to Schwinn family and what should have gone to money lenders (bankruptcy) is n

ot my business. I just cast my net. Oops, I didn't dust off the old girl. Too lazy to retake it. I see the three sided trench knife. This was made illegal by the Geneva Convention because you couldn't sew up the wound easily. This is an American Hun sticker. Hats off to our Vets?

I have a German WW I designed assault machine gun. The great grand daddy of all assault weapons-- the 38 Bremen 9mm. Plugged with a socket extension. It was in one of these pictures and I reshot the picture for the sensitive crowd. Send me a PM if you want a peek. If you visit in person, wandering around the bikes, you had better yell CABE real loud. The little woman is jumpy with the blades. I'm messing with ya. In my little home town of Plainfield, IL. One WW I vet cut down bayonets to give trench knives to the boys going to the Second WW. No trenches but they kept the knives and the story for we little 1950's kids.
