AGE / VALUE:   Mead Cycle Co. "Kennebec" posted by: Skid on 9/23/2006 at 12:00:37 PM
A local antique dealer loaned me a bike for a window display. It is a Mead Cycle Co. bike with wooden rims and one wooden hand grip. It says "Kennebec" on the head badge. Overall it is in very nice shape for the age of the bike. I can find little on line about the Mead company and nothing about a bike called Kennebec. Any info would be appriciated!

Skid.

Probably 1895 to 1900, if it has a caster brake it is late 1890's or later. Got any pictures?

just wondering how much a 1918 pathfinder might be worth all original parts in good shape but rusty
