Thanks to Ken Denny, I now have some useful information on Oscar Egg bicycles and a couple of leads which I hope will take me further. The detective work is almost as much fun as the cycle! If there is any other information out there, please contact me. When there seems to be a useful amount, I will share it. One lead from Ken Denny was that they were sold in England by Hickings of Hayes in Kent. Although I went to school not far from there, I do not remember Hickings. Perhaps it was before my time, but I will certainly be chasing up the connection. Thanks again to Ken Denny and thanks in advance to anyone else who can help.
