THEGOLDENGREEK

Cruisin' on my Bluebird
Picked up this bicycle which badge says Nonpareil bicycle works made out of St louis. I never heard or seen this badge before, i did google it and came up with one other similar bicycle but no one had any info on this company. Its missing a seat and pedals as well when i got it. I does have almost 3 diffrent color blue as a paint scheme on it. The tank is all there not rot plus has it original horn. It does have a morrow rear hub on it with a K4 on it. Looks and seems to be all original down to the tires on it. Any info on this bicycle would be great thank you!!

Exactly. Seen several of these m&s bikes with nonpareil badges, which was a hardware of department store chain in the 30s-50s. Great bike George. Congrads.

Awesome info i never knew about that, can you help me out on the year to decode the morrow hub it says K4 on it!
 
Nice to see a M&S with the more ornate tank design, most were a plain dart design. (Like azbug's bike pictured in the next post). I also have a Nonpareil badged M&S. Although housepainted it has an amateur rocket painted on. My serial number is 92085. I added the prewar Roadliter cuz it was grey and the previous owner kept the front loader. I see yours also has what appears to be a yellow primer on the bottom bracket, so does mine. Mine also has that tank design in red barely visible under the house paint.

Nice to see other ones out there. Even though yours is house painted i still DIG it. All i did was whip the bottom i didnt even notice the yellow primer lol. So how does your bike ride? Does yours have a morrow rear hub as well cds2323? And yes Mike its a cool looking bike i have no clue what im doing with it yet. But from what i can see this bike has 3 different blue colors on it will clean up nice in oxolic acid for sure!
 
I do believe that CWC also made bicycles for them. I had one years ago that was badged SPEED with the same text on a round badge. I still have parts of this bike...
