How many pages?
Andvare you willing to make copies?
Thank you for your interest. This thing is amazing. It is the Clayton-Willard Sales Catalog from 1951-1952. Clayton-Willard Sales, located in Jacksonville, FL, billed themselves as "Dixie's Complete Cycle Jobber." Among other things, the catalog includes the complete 1950 Schwinn Dealer Catalog which includes the Parts and Accessories section. Because of the Korean War, there was no 1951 or 1952 Schwinn Dealer Catalog so they simply used the 1950 edition again. It has a 16 page section of Wald parts and bike tools. It has a 6 page section of Torrington Handlebars complete with pictures, numbers and names, even including the Schinneer Wide and Narrow series.

Persons-Majestic, Troxel, Faulhaber, H&F Mesinger Mfg., Lobdell-Emery. Page after page.

7 pages of Delta electricals. Mudflaps....fender ornaments....grips.....streamers....

I haven't even touched on the pages and pages of Tricycles and Pedal Cars. Or National Flyer....or Structo.....or Doephe...............or Kingston Roller Skates.

Oh, 279 pages not counting the index.

I was 6 years old the year this thing came out. It was the year I got my first bike. I'm kinda blown away.

It's not "what I picked up" as much as it's "what I discovered" this week.

I got this AMF Western Flyer a year ago from my Grandpa, which I then took apart to fix another AMF Western Flyer I got from him years ago.

Fast-forward to today. I was going through my stash looking for anything to take to the Haysville, KS swap meet later this month, when I pulled the seat from that bike out of a bin. The seat cover was falling apart, so I decided to see what may be hiding underneath. Lo and behold, I just found my first STP sticker on a seat out in the wild! And it's in great shape too! If it's possible, I might try to remove it from the seat with a hair dryer or heat gun and glue it on another one of my other bikes.

Got my Schwinn 1941 frame back!! Guess I'm going to build an equiped model this time but with steer horn bars, big clover sprocket, repro tank that actually fits unlike some originals that don't fit, going the rustic original rider route and matching paint and touching up where needed. It's gonna be a keeper .....things are pretty dialed in so far...shoo

After having that blue Iver Johnson taken away from me, I still had a desire to own one and just found another. A much nicer one too! I guess some things just happen for a reason... @oldmtrcyc sold me this beautiful Iver Johnson frame set and IJ handlebars! Thanks Jim! I dug out a seat to match and put to use a red horn I had. Currently working on some correct IJ wheels and some tubular tires so it should be complete and ridable in the next few weeks. 😎
