No one else wanted this on Friday night , but I really did , so I put an astronomical proxy bid I thought no one would ever come close to , and no one did . No other bidders so I got this wonderful piece of DELTA’s war time history for $10 . Recorded 117 days before Pearl Harbor August 12 1941 and mailed out a month later , Sept. 12 1941 , I can’t wait to get it to read the entire transcript

Technically this is a next week's find.
Just picked up this Huffman early this morning, sporting a strange serial number.
Has a "5M" prefix...hmmm, anybody?

11 1944 fork stamping.
I'm guessing that makes this a 1945.
I'll call it a 1944-45 Lightning Flyer with an early Cadet speedo.

Cool Military school decal on the fender
RMA (Richmond Military Academy) is what the owner said.

Jim, sorry man...He mentioned someone wanted it shipped but, when I piped in he said come get it. He wanted a local pickup.
After I got more info, like the fork date stamp, I took the 2 hr drive to meet him.

He had some great looking pedal cars and Skippy wagons that he was considering selling, too.
