Cruisin' on my Bluebird
Serial Number Mystery
ejlwheels posted his frame and fork showing a serial # then 9 and 162 and says it has a Pop Bottle badge....
I also have a Dayton with the same fork, pop bottle badge and the numbers 9 and 162
So I was talking to a fellow Ohio Collector about this and he says WOW...he has a Dayton, with the same fork, and pop bottle badge, and the numbers on his are 9 and 162 !!
The only real difference in these 3 bikes is the frame size (by the neck length)
So here ya go....
Three 1919 Dayton bikes
All 3 are stamped 162
All 3 have the same Dayton Truss Forks
All 3 have the Pop Bottle Badge...which is an extra step when making the frame,,, to make the large hole for that Pop Bottle badge....
Hummmmm???...........162......Pop Bottle Badge? Dayton Truss fork???
Now I'm not gonna assume anything.......yet.......but I am very curious now!
and sure would like to find another Dayton with the # 162 !!!!
