Was going to start a thread about vintage tires, but might as well just bump this one up. Show us your vintage tires &(If possible) the bike they were original equipment to!

I don't know what happened here, but this was on the front of my 1935 Wards Hawthorne.

These were probably the rarest pre war balloon tires I've owned. They were Captain Midnight tires sold thru Skelly Oil.

They debuted on 12-14-1939 and were sold as a premium for the Captain Midnight radio show which was sponsored by Skelly Oil. Ovaltine took over sponsorship of the show in March 1940 so these tires were only available for a short time.
They were sold with orange inner tubes in an orange box with the Captain Midnight logo.
The tubes in mine were shot but were marked Pharis Tire Co. who probably also made the tires for Skelly Oil.

These Continentals are on my 36 Rollfast Sport Motobike Deluxe. Since the bike is in such nice original condition, I believe them to be original to the bike.
