Girls Elgin from the 30s. Complete with tank, fenders, sheetmetal skirt guards and lights. Even had the original batteries in the lights. Seems the old spinster had gotten the bike as a girl and left it sitting in the garage unridden for over 60 years. She cleaned out the garage and put the bike out at the curb with the trash. Now it hangs in my barn, getting the same amount of use she gave it.
