Moved some bikes around today in my workshop, I tend to rotate bikes forward so I can look at them up close, this is one of my favorite machines, ca. 1896 John North Willys “Willys Special” - the original drop bars are bent so I decided to mount these killer wood drop bars I have had squirreled away since a Hershey meet a few years ago.

Anyone ever seen a Willys bike?

Happy Easter! It was a TOC - Teens smalls week for me. A huge thanks to Floyd for period correct nuts to finish the saddle and Mark Mann for the seven tooth sprocket. I was also able to get some matches to singles I had thanks to Jesse and Scott. I am still on the look out for Gem pedal blocks to finish out the pair of Davis Sewing Machine Co. pedals; both dust caps are marked “Gem D.S.M.Co.” Does anyone know anything about the maker of this light?

They made this light with a few different applications. I have a set of these lights , they were for automotive use with the flat surface mount . Each one came with it's own 2-cell battery box and one of them had a small broken off flat piece of brass sheet metal , like something from a brass era car still attached. The white light is handlebar mount, Maroon light is front fender mount like Western Union bike in last pic. The front axel mount is similar to the handlebar mount only dowel diameter is smaller than the handlebar diameter i think , not 100% sure because i haven't seen one yet. And the green one is truss rod mount

That’s cool , it seems like your finding a lot of great classic boats lately . I’ve been looking forever for a Delta stern light and pennant staff to try and complete my Delta marine collection. If you ever find either of these and not interested you can sell them to me
