Hey Marty what year do you think those were introduced? V/r Shawn

I'm not sure, Shawn.
The Torrington catalog listing I have is from 1940.
I've got a couple of the Short Horn/Dixon Jr's
And one of them is the shim type and the other has the center bulge.
I think the change to the bulge was right around 1937/38, and if they made the Dixon Jr with the shimmed center, it stand to reason, that they also made the full size Dixon bar with it as well.
I've had three of the full size Dixon bars, and they were all the later bulge type.
The reproductions have the shim, so they will replicate the earlier models. Pre 38

I will, but think they're pretty cool right now.

Yeah, they are pretty cool.
I'd hang on to them for now.
Give them a ride. I think you'll really like them.

I will, I think I'll put them back on the B10E after I get it back together.

Cool, I have apair of those and was wondering about them. They were on a 1934 B10E I just bought.

Hey, Barry.
If the bars on your B10E are the full sized Dixons, I'd be curious to know, if they have the center shim with the CircleT by the plating hole, or if they have the center bulge with the cursive script at the plating hole?

I'll take the gooseneck off later and take some pictures. I'm headed to Spokane right now to pay some bills.

Really enjoying this thread. Here's a handlebar mount for a watch. Made in England. Probably 70s vintage. I was tempted to take it out of the package to take the pics but resisted...

Hello, the bar's I have are 26" wide. I think I was wrong about them? The grips are on really good. lol
I'll try to take them off tomorrow.

Air Jet bicycle whistle. This thing is loud! I bought this from Larry Busch at ML several years ago and at the time, he said he had never seen one before. I know i haven't. Anyway have any of you seen one? Jay
