Rare 1936 elgin

[Glenn Rhein]

Just picked up this bike, there is some really cool things going on. The yellow face clipper speedo has to be the best original I’ve ever seen. The Gun metal color is just cool
Nice delta fatty, clock speedo dash, working horn and a little tool pouch with a very cool wrench. I didn’t think that the dash was original but I found an add for this bike Stating that it only came in two colors red and gun metal.

Came from the original owner. Check out the pictures

I’m Certainly not an expert on rare but when’s the last time you saw an original men’s Elgin with a clock-speedo dash in this gunmetal color.
I saw a girls Elgin at a show one time with the clock-speedo dash And everyone thought it was added from the Columbia.
Maybe it should be a thread, “ show us your original Elgin’s with speedo- clock dashes “ Maybe there’s a lot more out there than I thought

really nice!! ... interesting how that back fender only 30% rusted. I wonder what happened.

Nice snag. Looks way better without the basket.
