The junior bike is a first time see for me. Lugs are sorta generic, equipment vintage standard what was around stuff. The #6 is a fooler but it looks like some small builder rather than a standard factory production. Sorry can't help more than that. The helmet and gloves really look more '40'50's to me. I remember wearing stuff like that. All my 20's and '30's pics show almost no helmets and/or gloves. The glove shape and stitching is indicative of that time. I remember those gloves in that the palm stitching would often get worn thru soon and then the padding would start to come apart Guys even wore hanball gloves, but they had buckles to hold them snugger on hand(s). Many guys only wore one glove. The helmet finish and shape is also in that time frame. The stuff looks old and people could assume older, but I doubt from my remembering at the races and from my fotos. Thos items are nice to have for enhancing bike displays for a time capsule
display.
