nice bicycle, the badge is really nice, colors are super sharp
might be a good candidate for an OA bath (do a search on here)
I thing it would clean it up real well!

I believe Ridewell badged is Pittsburgh regional. Dogdart? Katie?

I was told it was a Pittsburgh company from a number of local pals, there's minimal info that I have found from googling. Though dogdart's badged Ridewell spells out the company's actual name and location on the badge.

Joseph Woodwill Hardware Co.

 

[dogdart]

Joseph Woodwell Hardware was in Downtown Pittsburgh
And sold the complete line of Cleveland Welding bicycles with their own badge

And yes they do Ridewell

And as stated the bent tank reverse paint beauty this post is for is a 1941
