Attached is a picture of a head badge from what I believe to be an 1895 - 1898 Special bicycle (info gleaned from thewheelmen.org website. Story goes -- a man was drilling a well in near a Minnesota lake in the early 1970s. Two teenagers found a bike in the lake with wooden rims. The Driller, grabbed a screwdriver and pulled the two screws holding the head badge and the boy threw the bike back into the lake. As far as I know, the bike is still in the lake.
A few days ago, the Driller brought the head badge to me so I could look at it. It is made of brass, about 3 3/8 " long by 2" wide -- it is curved to fit the bike, of course.
In addition to the brand name, also engraved is the owner's name. W. B. Leo of Westbrook, Minn. I am currently researching Mr. Leo.
I am looking for information on the bike. Pictures, historical, etc, etc.
Any help or info would be greatly appreciated...thanks.
