WANTED TO BUY: Early WIDE Handlebars

[bud poe]

I'm looking to put my Davis built VICTOR back together, I need a set of the WIDE bars pictured in this catalog ad on the middle VICTOR bicycle. Let me know if you have anything, crusty is OK as the bike isn't perfect...
Thanks!
Bud

What a beautiful ad. What catalog is that? Mead made similar bars called "scout" handlebars. Found on roadsters superbe and arch frame rangers.
I need some too, but this is about you. Good luck.

Dave the Wave posted that ad, I believe it's out of a Sears catalog.
Thanks again Dave!

Found these being sold on ebay, came off a Davis built bike, to me they don't look quite WIDE enough? Opinions anyone?

I just dug these out - might they work for you? They look to be about the same size as the ones on my 20s Napoleon. I'm at your mercy as to what they're worth.

The ebay ones are the same size as mine, so it may not work.

Those look good to me! I'll PM you...
Thanks!

PM sent...
By the way, what does one call these bars? Any clever nicknames (i.e. "tiller bars", "longhorns", etc...)? Just curious...

No idea what most people call them, but I call 'em yours!
