Shelby-badged Serial Numbers-Prewar

Eagle

 

[Archie Sturmer]

That Gamble’s Eagle looks like one of the lowest N serial sequence numbers seen;

1936 seems like a good year for Shelby, with N -serials from the 200k (299) though all of the 300k, and halfway into the 400k serials.

Or maybe it only looks like an “N”?

Very cool banana tank ride! Something to consider with this bike is that the truss rod fork crown support sports the later, open-ended holes for the truss rods. Not in 1936. Whether pieced together or not, as AS mentions it moves the N numbers into the high 200k numbers...more frames and examples just give us more information...thanks for the latest posts!

@jimbo53 Could you possibly dig a bit deeper regarding your early Shelby serial number? Looking closer, another "4" may appear with some light compound work.

Was picking some parts today and came across this one just sitting there next to a fence. Serial Number from what I can tell, V80976. Guy that owns it is open to selling it for about 100 plus cost of shipping. it is located just outside St. Louis MO.

I believe this on is a 1928. No headbadge.
