I hate to horn in on this thread with a commercial post, but I was going to out these anyway and it just happened to be coincidental.
1939 Rudge Catalog from the Hans Ohrt Beverly Hills Shop. Export edition, 41 pages, includes all-models ("Supersafe Traffic", Light Roadster, Sports, Super Sports, Light Tourist, Roadster, and Tradesmen's Carrier model). Also includes gear tables, hints and tips. Cover shows light wear and soiling. Interior clean. No rips. Catalog measures 8-1/2" x 5-3/4".
1939 Lewis Lightweights of Chicago bicycle catalog. 14 pages, includes all- models (Sportsman, Super Club and Club Racer models). This is a very rare catalog from a marque that was not around for very long (at least that is the story I'm getting from folks who were in Chicago at the time). Cover shows very light wear and soiling. Interior clean. No rips. Catalog measures 11-1/4" x 8- 1/4" and includes the original (unused) mailing envelope.
Thanks for your indulgence.
Now back to your regular thread ...
