Bob the boys big tank is looking good but to make it even more correct and make the lights brighter you need to paint the head tube white. V/r Shawn

Hi Shawn,

Thanks for the advice. It is white inside. I thought you were suggesting I go LED...UGHHHH....Ha!! See pics. Bob Strucel restored about 20 years back!!

..And then shorty after posting my first Sunday post this morning, I receive a message back about a bike I inquired about late last night. I’m in-between vehicles right now.. so I hopped in my wife’s brand new XT6 and headed to Rome NY to pick up this beauty. Folded all the seats down and carefully placed it inside making sure not to leave the slightest mark...on the bike that is lol.

found this for a good price at the Goodguys show a few weeks back. I collect pressed steel not tin, but this one was calling to me as I walked by.

A few things I bought over the past couple weeks. A beautiful NOS Persons glitter seat from caber olevince , a Murray tank to rob the lights to make more tail lights with.
A partial set of Delta blinking safety lights, I already had the box with the green light and both spoke contacts with the instructions and didn’t think I’d ever find the amber light . Then last week a set popped up but the seller said the amber light was the cracked one , but upon further inspection it was actually the green one that was damaged ( lenses were reversed ) so now I have a complete set . And last a cool 1947 International toy pickup

Hope everyone's Thanksgiving and Black Friday was memorable.
Also, hope the finds from families hiding places were huge.

Let's see what relics you've found from the past week.
Whether, it be bike related or not.
Please, include pictures as we do love pictures!

Harvard single speed coaster brake hub.
Looks old, can anyone pin down an approximate year?
Thanks

Been watching this on couple cls for a while and price was finally low enough that I made a offer and guy not only excepted it but delivered it also! Started chatting with the guy and he ended up not taking my money and gave it to me! So much for my big plans to tear it apart and use some stuff and sell the rest! Still are some good people out there! Need to find original chainguard for it if anyone has one! Supposedly a'50s amf/CWC empire badge!View attachment 1518924

Has super cool badge and original bike shop sticker and cool license stickers! Looking for the chainguard...

Bike looks a lot better in person, since I can't ever sell it I might be interested in a trade for a man's bike if someone has to have her! Then won't feel guilty, or pre-war schwinn parts...
