Sunday's Show and Tell ... 1/3/21

[49autocycledeluxe]

showed a photo from ebay of my new fenders and light last Sunday before they arrived... here they are on the bike.

frame and fork is (was?) red, fenders are maroon and so is the chain guard.

My dad passed away just before Christmas and was a collector of interesting things; some of the treasures from his collection will make it to Texas with me.

A few suitcase items :
78 rpm jukebox record spacer. Early spark plug and a section of steel waterpipe from the old Illinois state prison (think Blues Brothers)

Sorry for the loss of your dad, but I gotta say, that jail had some serious water issues .

I got this quite a while ago but forgot to post it (or forgot I posted it; could be either). It's a 1953-ish Monark Silver King El Dorado. It sat in a barn for a long time but I think it will probably clean up pretty well. I'm about to find out.

Busy few days here. I unloaded a bear-of-a-crate that belonged to racer Will Stinson along with his Red Wing, G. W. Grady New England Cycle Co. bicycle, with his initialed saddle. Huge thanks to @kccomet. A beautiful photograph reproduction showing Columbia’s exhibit in Paris arrived from the French Bibliothèque. The image prominently shows the racer Model 44; this will look great displayed with my Columbia 44. The 1988 Mountain Klein from @Leoncito arrived (thank you!); I am looking for parts to make it factory stock. I am also thrilled to finally get this 19th century lithograph of the Columbia/Hartford factories; it is almost 5 feet wide! It will be sent off to a paper conservator to de-acidified and have the stains removed.
