Sunday's Show and Tell...3/25/18

Whatever happened to Spring. Those that are enjoying "Spring like" weather, I envy you.

Still Spring cleaning has started and there should have been a few finds out there.
So, 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!

Thanks to a fellow Caber, I pulled the trigger on this tank for my 1941 Western Flyer badged Hawthone.

Oneita bicycle badge info from the Wheelman says this was a one year production in 1898.

I picked a few goodies. Thought I might make a run at that 26X so I picked up the reflector, some pin backs, a bell for “Milton”, and a set of prewar Firestone Champion tires for my Fleetwood Supreme which were on a post war set of rims (‘46). I also built a split rail fence this week. V/r Shawn

Found this on the Chicago Craig's list two weeks ago. It was listed as a Monarch for $75.

It's a Monark lightweight with a neat little shift lever just visible thru the basket. The seller was going to deliver it up here to Michigan but I finally had a friend pick it up yesterday. (A big thanks to @Neanderthal77 ) Also thankful to the seller for hanging on to it for two weeks and removing the ad. There are still some honest people out there, he did say he had a bunch of emails about it. But said he'd hold it as I responded first.

Not quite sure on the year but guessing 46 or so. Serial number is stamped on bottom bracket. Has a stem I associate with prewar Monarks. I cannot find any literature showing Monark lightweights. Anyone have some?

Has nice box pinstripes.
