Schwinn b6 prewar miller kickstand add-on

[hzqw2l]

This add on was present on my 1941 Schwinn B6. Finally figured out what it's for...

Pretty cool. Anyone else ever seen one?

NIIIICE BIKE!
ORIGINAL?
THAT KICK STAND WAS COMMON ON PREWAR SCHWINNS 1937-41.

I’ve seen those before as well, nice looking ‘41.

WOW!
The bike looks great, John!
I’ve never seen one of those lock brackets, but after seeing how well it works to secure that badass Schwinn built Roadmaster, now I want one.
Neat bike all the way around.

Hi Wes. Yes all original except the key you recently cut for me. Thanks.

KNOW I AM NOT SURE ABOUT 'one of those lock brackets'!
WHAT DID I NOT SEE?

so how did they use those long locks if that bracket was not in place?

2nd picture shows a bracket with a hole attached to the kickstand. Lock goes through the hole around the crank arm.

INTERESTING!
A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE.
NEVER TOO OLD TO LEARN SOMETHING NEW TO ME.
THANKS,
