Sunday's Show and Tell...5/13/18

[New Mexico Brant]

I attended the huge outdoor antique flea market/swap in Brimfield, Mass. this past week. The event hosts thousands of vendors and buyers. Although I am primarily there to seek-out antique American Indian and World tribal artifacts for my business bicycles are never far from my mind. On the second day I found this patriotic lady, with very sexy bling, for my lovely lady (very fitting being its Mother's Day). Cabers please help, in need of a red, blue, and white OG paint Shelby chain guard to go with her!
On the way home, I stopped in on a lead and made a true attic purchase. An original paint Hygienic Cushion Frame Pierce with the leaf spring fork! I am not sure if it would have came with fenders or if this was added in the period?

I picked up this All-American Picnic Grill made by the American Playground Device Co. Anderson, In. at a small local on-line auction.. this small company opened in 1911 and is still in business today. I can only find one photo of one on the internet and its a ad that says its New and dated August 1953.. its solid cast iron and weights 185 lbs. !! I'm cleaning it and so far wire wheeled the top grates then soaked them in white vinegar over night to take off all rust. then re-cleaned them and seasoned them. they look great now.. now for the rest..

Got this old bicycle bell. The bell mounts on the fork, and when you pull the lever the little springy thing moves over and the spokes cause it to ring the bell.
Was told it came off an old Japanese bike.
