Schwinn items collected

Thanks!
I always thought it was interesting, how similar, Ignaz signature was, to the script used on the Fenderbomb.
Maybe not so unusual, since he founded the company, but they didn’t just use any cursive style of writing.
They used the actual signature, of Ignaz Schwinn for that coveted piece, that we have all come to know and love.

How about the Schwinn name on the oval grips, looks almost the same there too.

This one, I did manage to land.
The text is interesting, in that it seems to be missing the word “Bicycle” in the header.
Ride a - - - - - - - for Heath and Pleasure?
I’ve always wondered why it was printed like that?

Another guess would be that the word BICYCLE might have been printed in red ink and has completely faded over the years from light. I have a "color" 8 x 10 photo of my family on a Paramount Tandem and a bicycle trailer from around 1971 that has been exposed to sun light and the colors are gone.

I accumulate parts I think I'll need in the future to rebuild Schwinn three speed type bikes: brake calipers and levers, crank set parts, stems, handlebars, wheelsets and wheel parts, shifters, etc.

Too bad none of the modern bike companies have enough soul to produce any of these cool items today.
