Sunday's Show and Tell ...8/23/20

[cds2323]

I also picked up a few balloon bikes about two weeks ago.
1. An Elgin that has lots of good parts to complete a 37/38 Elgin I already have. And some good prewar Monark parts I’ll use on a Monark. Since it’s repainted I’ll fix it back to a rider to sell.
2. A 36 Schwinn C model with the tall 20” frame.
3. A 48 Huffman Western Flyer that will clean up well and sell as a rider.
4. A fifties Schwinn DX Spitfire that was thrown in for free.

I picked up this old bicycle photo and an American made switchblade from the 1950s.

50's Firestone Special Cruiser by Monark.

The bike is dressed up like a middleweight but is it?

I swapped out a few bits and now its a Ballooner. The Bendix 2-speed is nice!

I've been collecting antique toys( and bicycles, guitars, advertising, nostalgia etc.) for almost 40 years. I used to buy and sell ( had to sell to buy) when I was married/2 kids, now retired can afford to buy more/sell less...Ha!!

My toys mainly consist of Japan/German tinplate lithographed cars, with some exceptions...robots, motorcycles.... Lately I've been bitten with some pressed steel toys such as Tonka ( tow truck, local buy), Buddy L ( Hot Rod and trailer/original plastic Honda motorcycles...amazing!!/local buy), Lil Beaver( Canadian) Camper with Buddy L boat/trailer /local buy and acquired some minty examples. The Buddy L boat transport ( w/original box) Ebay is still in transport/mail, stepped up BIG for that one...ouch..

The Hot Rod set up is incredible. The 2 motorcycles have removable ( plastic pin goes in a hole above tank) handle bars, and it's all complete. Groovy slicks and moons and wide whites/dig it!!

I bought a set of Delta axle lights ( paid too much) off Ebay ( have a set on my Delta dealer stand) but felt my Huffy Radiobike deserved a set. Got some good deals off Cabers, you know who you are, some neat Ebay scores. ( nice tin boat/ non licensed Esso tiger) Seems I've been buying heavy lately, could be the state of the world. May as well croak broke. Ha!!
