| I have an old boy's bicycle with a front plate that may be brass and reads: EST 1919 (Next there is what appears to be an engraving of a bicycle wheel) Joe's (in script) 50 YEAR CHICAGO FLYER (Next there is an engraving of a streamlined train) (The next engraving shows a six-gun, Cowboy's head, & another six-gun) (Then in smaller letters it has:) JOE'S AUTO CYCLE SUPPLY 3851 OGDEN AVE. CHICAGO USA The bike has wood rims. Can someone tell me how old this bike is and the value. by: 151.154.66.4 |
| Reed, please explain why your post looks exactly like this oldroads archive: http://oldroads.com/arch/FSW2000_7_3110_42_28_AM.html Imagine my surprise when I googled 'Joe's Auto Cycle Supply Chicago Bicycle' and this archive was the top hit. If it's not some obscure scam, what? As far as the bike goes, The wheelmen http://www.thewheelmen.org/ show a Chicago Flyer made by Winnie Machine Works http://www.owwm.com/MfgIndex/Detail.asp?ID=905 which (the machine works) could have been 50 years old around 1923. by: 209.7.150.163 |
| Ken: Seen a query in a "old" listing from several years ago and copied and added ( please note: my remark about the wooden rims ). I have the bicycle in hand. Thanks, Reed by: 24.13.94.10 |
| Reed, thanks for your reply. Sorry I was over-suspicious. It sounds like an interesting machine and I hope you will have photos to share. I also hope the group here can help with your search. Have you contacted the Wheelmen? I was impressed that the antique machine guys listed the machine company as the bike's manufacturer. Did you get anything from that link? by: 209.7.150.163 |
| No problem Ken, yes have reviewed Wheelmen site with no success.I have several pics to share, but whom do I sent to? via e-mail. Reed by: 24.13.94.10 |
