Model 172 stamped on the bottom bracket…

For Daytons, 1920 appears to be the "17_" series.

The 1919 Dayton "16_" series Model 162?

1919Daytonserial_5672_zpsa5f79dcc-1.jpg


I have one with 162 on the bottom bracket. I now feel more confident that it is a 1919 model, since it has a "9" on it, since 162 is not a model offered in 1920 and since it seems logical that the 1919 models would have had the same sequence as the 1920 models but with a "6" where the "7" is.

In post #81 (page 9) of this thread, Flat Tire referenced 2 other bikes with the 9 and 162 on the bottom brackets.

Will someone please post 1919 model year Dayton literature with model numbers?!!



In response to post #s 239 & 241 in this thread, I now speculate that nj_shore's bottom bracket stamping may indicate that his frame is a Model 130 Dayton Roadster from 1916…


using the 1920 line up above as a guide and working backwards:

1916: 130, 131, 132, 133,...
1917: 140, 141, 142, 143,...
1918: 150, 151, 152, 153,...
1919: 160, 161, 162, 163,...
1920: 170, 171, 172, 173,…



The 1920 Model 170 Dayton Roadster

So would a model 120 be a 1915 Roadster?

Does anyone have a front fender to match the profile of the rear fender on this Dayton?
 
Single Rail Davis

Does anyone have a front fender to match the profile of the rear fender on this Dayton?


Joseph ... that is not a Davis fender .. peep the 2 ridges at the top-flat. I got
no idea what year that machine is .. but i do like the look of shallow fenders.
Look for shallow fenders from Davis, Miami, Schwinn and others that are not
manufacturer-specific like Iver Johnson or Emblem.

Shows the Model 120
But the model 120 has no fenders at all.
What are your thoughts? Flat fenders or No Fenders?

I think that sort of 45 degree "A" shaped rear fender came on Emblem and Pierce bikes.
Both made in Angola, NY.
