Peerless and Western Flyer

[marius.suiram]

Hello,
I found these two bikes in a antique mall.
Interested what's the year of fabrication, they look to be prewar. The owner said the Peerless is as early as 1917...1920, but I think is around 37...40's.
The ladies WF looks same age or newer.
What's your opinion?
And what is the value?
As I can see these old bikes doesn't sell anymore now, but I think that they will be again in sales.
And both bikes have original paint which is good.
Any input matters. Thank you

Peerless is right around 1937 or so. I have a ladies one that's its twin.

Western Flyer is right around 1948. Serial number on frame under crank will tell.

I'm thinking it might be a few years newer. Curved downtube, no dropout dropstand ears and what looks like black out parts. Can we get a serial number. I dig those singlebars.

I can check the serial numbers, but not today.
They are half hour away.
Probably i should buy them. But i dont want to stuck money in something it is not selling.

The Peerless is sweet! I'm digging the rear basket but curious what's going on between it and the rear fender. Cool bikes!

You have antique malls open near you?

 

[marius.suiram]

Probably is a wrong name.
A guy posted some bikes for sale.
It is like a storage building with all kind of old junk. The bikes I was there for were garbage. But he has these bikes and other 60...70's Schwinns and also newer bikes too.

Hi Deb, hope you guys are doing fine.
What about a Peerless for Ritchie?
