Sunday's Show and Tell ... 11/15/20

We got this yesterday. Wife wanted another horse, a gaited Tennessee Walker Pinto gelding. I think we'll name him "Chief"...look at his right hand quarter.
Not a bicycle, but a smooth ride!View attachment 1301609View attachment 1301612View attachment 1301611View attachment 1301613View attachment 1301614

Beautiful, cool Chief!

An Elgin showed up...can check this off the bucket list of bikes. About as clean as it gets. Crazy heavy too...thought these bikes would be lighter than they are. Fun rider...gets lots of double takes.

Those bikes weigh a TON. I bought one at the Hershey car swap meet about 35 years ago and it rained so I couldn't roll it anymore/fenders were packed with mud. I carried it on my shoulder for about an hour, almost killed me. My shoulder was black and blue the next day. I still own the bike ( sold once locally/bought it back). That's a beauty!!

I got this 1951 Stratton-Warren catalog in the mail Friday. It's in great shape.

I was born in 1952. What amazes me in '51 are the bike prices, about $75 average. According to the inflation calculator that's $751 today!
Growing up in the country I never saw bikes like that. I'm thinking when I had my bicycle route in 1966-67 that's about what I paid for a new Sears 3 speed, baskets and lights, around $75.
