Cruisin' on my Bluebird
Here are a couple but I'm sure there are more. I think the actual Davis badge might have the same screw setup.

Gonna be hard. Made a lot of hardware bicycles. Is the frame ivory head, Olive green frame? Is that blue moto fork gonna go on the camelback? The reason I say this is because before The National turned blue on blue it was ivory head and darts, olive drab fame and fork. For that I would go Davis National.

Side hole orientation may make that impossible...I'll look into it.

California Motor Co. builds motorcycle in 1903.
Two competitive bicycle manufacturers sharing
the same building in Toledo, (Kirk Mfg. Co. and
Snell Fitting Co.) consolidate to form one company
in 1903 (?) ... Consolidated Mfg. Co., of Toledo, Oh.
Consolidated Mfg. Co buys California Motor Co. in
1903.
Motorcycles and bicycles are produced in Toledo,
after 1903 by Consolidated Mfg. Co.
Don't know how long the motorcycles were manu-
factured, but in April of 1916, Davis Sewing Machine Co.
buys Consolidated ... continues to produce the Yale and
the Snell bicycles -- no motorcycles.
There was a lot of badge shifting done in those days ...
also a bunch of badge designing and re-designing.

No Matter What Kind of Thoughts Are Applied ... That Camelback Is
Still A Davis ... much more research is indicated before any scholarly
conclusions can be reached.

Recently made comment that there was a lot of
badge designing and re-designing back in the day.
Please consider these three badges ... the only thing that
they have in common, is they share a unique perimeter
shape.
They are not connected by any DNA thru a particular bicycle
manufacturer .....
