Picked up this Huffman painted bike and absolutely killer handmade leather Batman cowl mask at an auction 1 mile away. Found this mint 1941/1997 Columbia superb at the flea this morning for a song. Last week found this hells angels mirror at the flea that went the west coast.

Bought a 1939 Elgin Four Star, built by Murray-Ohio for Sears, Roebuck. It's my first Elgin.

A previous owner installed a kickstand

What letter is stamped after the top “S” on the Sears bike?

Guessing that the bike might be a little later, like 1940–SE; moDel 502….

(Looks like an Elgin kickstand with 2-bolts?).

I swear sometimes i feel like the king of patience. Lol
Been after this bike for nearly 3 years now and the time came yesterday and its finally mine!
One repaint over original but flaking off to show beautiful original pins. No stripped hardware, no abuse, pedals spin like new. Glue-on chain treads show very little wear. Grips uncracked, seat is an 8 out of 10.
Weird handlebars but they have character!
Metal clad wood wheels are straight as an arrow.
One owner indoor kept Michigan City Excelsior DeLuxe

Looks like E, after the S.
