Variant of a springer fork with the spring oriented horizontally.
Was it a Huffman -- or homemade?

Dang, I'm thinking Monark for some reason but not completely sure......

IDK, but it looks bent.

Monark pencil springer that’s pretty badly bent.

One year only '39 Monark pencil spring fork.

 

[Mr. Monkeyarms]

Has anyone seen one that wasn't bent?

I don't know....I kinda dig them.

 

[Mr. Monkeyarms]

I hear they work really well once everything is straightened/assembled properly. They look good as well, very minimal. But maybe that's their downfall. Easily bent. I suppose if you ride responsibly they are fine.

Very nice bikes @fordmike65 !! Did you need to straighten yours at all considering it looks like they had minimal use?
