No bikes this week, but my 87 year old Mom bought this box of bike stuff and only paid three bucks at a garage sale yesterday!

some weeks it’s just stuff this week was cool stuff, my friends father had a plumbing business he started in the 30s he took on a GE line but after a while he lost his dealership because GE wanted him to buy large quantities of appliances and in a small town he couldn’t sell enough.so the signs came off the old pick up and went up in the rafters of the barn. We took them down and dusted a half an inch of dirt off them, he kept one and sold me the other.

Awesome finds! Let me know if you ever want to sell the nd 2 speed or the whizzer stuff.
 
Picked up some great pieces of history this week. The Cyclemotor is something I've never owned or even seen before in person, can't wait. The Smithwheel is a cool display and we were able to get it running. Then autographs from 2 of the greatest running backs in NFL history, Jim Brown and Walter Payton.

A wave of neat stuff this last week. I've posted the Autocycle already and on the media page/and what bike did you ride today. I'm thrilled with these obviously!

The garage Man Cave is starting to take shape/ongoing. I bought a really sweet all original Esso Extra banner off Ebay to match my Esso Extra Gilbarco gas pump, some patina'd repro gas pump signs ( Contains Lead) Some Babe graphic on an Esso image with pump, a Persons siren I put on the '39 CCM Motorbike, Krate Banner from Gary and Lori Wold/Ebay, and a unusual wider than normal 1955 Winnipeg bike plate with pink background ( owned before, this one was found in a wall of an old house) black letters. I put it on the '53 Schwinn Black Phantom.

My semi retired ( do antique dealers ever retire?) antique dealer pal sold me ( I'd been bugging him for years) a rare Fender dealer lighted sign, and a neat Falstaff lighted beer sign that has 2 beer mugs that swing back and forth. Took it apart, cleaned, lubed the beer gears, works like a charm/keeps perfect time. I'll be putting a blue light bulb in ( a buddy has one) it recommends for best effects!! Ha!

I bought a 1955 Lincoln Futura 1/18 scale resin car model off Ebay. Spectacular detail and craftsmanship. A birdy dropped a couple of sweet guitars off this last couple weeks too. A new Duesenburg "The Senior" butter scotch single p/u ( being a senior myself) and a 1976 Gretsch Chet Atkins "Country Gentleman".
