Share your propeller on your bicycle

[Scanner]

I saw a bicycle that had these propellers attached to the handlebars and I knew I had to find them, took me a while, With help of my friends I found the props. They’re called Lindberg props. They are an old auto accessory. Then I had to come up with a better idea of how to attach them to the Bicycle than what I’ve seen so I used Delta top loaders that were damaged to hold the prop. What do you think?

Looks like they were made to fit. Nice job! Any pictures of the insides?

Yeah!
Nice job!
Way to think outside the box.

Look like they’d be on a catalog page back in the day. I like it

Delta had some pretty cool accessory lights in their line up.

This type might make a good propeller candidate?

Yes! Imagine what other amazing treasures we would have in our collections today if Ted had been the lead product designer for Delta Electric Co. back then!

Like a P-38 Lightning! Awesome job man!

35 pages of accessories and nothing like it.

This type of propeller was about as good as it got, in 1934.

@Scanner Ted now if you can retrofit one of those tiny personal fan motors into the light body and utilize the original delta switch….Grand slam!
