Stearns

[corbettclassics]

Many of the bicycle manufacturers built Pace Followers. I have yet to see a Stearns mentioned anywhere and this is the first one for me that resembles one. I just don't have enough information with catalogues or write-ups with Stearns where one was ever mentioned. Either way it's a beautiful machine! ( Some had the forward facing fork and some had straight forks )

Some of the other manufacturers that built the Pace Follower are: Hudson, Reading, Yale, Snell, National, Pierce, Iver Johnson, Columbia, the Orient 1:30 which Major Taylor rode and I even have a picture of Walthour on what I'm sure is a Dayton Pace Follower. Walthour rode many Pace bikes and it's hard to name them all but I know most of them.

Other European manufacturer Pace Follower's are: - Cycles Saving, Brennabor, Corona, Express, Affick, Gladiator and many others. Of course I'm referring to TOC - 1900's era.

That`s a Cool Ride !!! Wonder if "Yellow Fellow" has anything to do with "The Yellow Kid?"
He was a popular Cartoon Character of that era...

That DT decal does not look original, neither does the HB decal. I believe this bikes only bared the Head tube decals The badge with the hammer, the Model decal and the style.
