National Bicycle Co. Bay City Michigan

This is a nice print of the National Cycle & National Truck Factory. I think it is from 1913-1916, before Chevrolet bought the business. The frame is 4 feet long. It is the original frame I added the mat board, replaced the wood backing with foam board and replaced the old glass with museum quality UV resistant glass.

Very nice job framing the print.

I have this badge but not the same company. In todays world I’m pretty sure a lawsuit would arise over this. V/r Shawn

I purchased some items from the National Cycle Company, from Bay City Michigan. This aluminum tag was in the box. Does anyone know what this tag was used for?

I vaguely remember seeing photographs of bicycles with numbers scrawled on the frames. I wonder if these medallions were engraved with a tax or license number in certain localities before plates were provided.
