Two barn finds buried deep and I’m glad I saved them....and met a very strange dude to boot.

Did you ever buy something and don't know why ? I found this 1953 20 inch Monark on the way home from Get A Grip. Some creative soul had put what seemed like a mile of pin striping tape on it. Got it all off and stripped the white paint off the truss rods. Polished up the paint and gave it a general clean up. Probably going to sell it.

Found this on the Chicago Craig's list two weeks ago. It was listed as a Monarch for $75.View attachment 776399
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.View attachment 776405 View attachment 776406 View attachment 776407 View attachment 776408

A metal and glass countertop display case was found at a auto swap meet while on my San Antonio group bicycle ride; the seller was nice enough to hold it until I returned with the truck (no deposit)

Love those small old cabinets. We seem to always have a use for them.

Buddy L toy truck bought last week at a local antique store. OG paint. I don't think it spent much time in the sandbox. I have a decent collection of old pressed steel trucks. It's another hobby.
