Here is my Elgin, Not sure of the year.......but this is pretty much my favorite bike I own!! It was in pieces, but all there when I found it.

Even the lock came with it!

WOW!!! Just found this build! You did an amazing job with that Elgin Twin. I am coming down to the home stretch on mine. Yours is one of the nicest and coolest ones that I have seen done!!! Great paint scheme and execution!
 
So I took the bike out for a little photo shoot. It's at the point now where it has what it needs to be a cool rider. Now I guess I'll take it around to shows and look for parts to finish it. I'm in no rush.

Me and my girl had to get a shot with it. She loves this bike as much as I do!

That thing is awesome, I hope to own one of those one day. Defiantly favor the early bluebirds over the later.
 
Here are 2 I have picked up recently, both are complete and I will post pics of them assembled.

If anyone has ideas on years and models.....please let me know!

The first one I guess is called a tool box Elgin

Nice! Both are 1938/1939 Murray built
 
Thanks!! Now that is awesome to hear!

Is there not a website that shows the serial numbers for Elgins?

For such cool bikes there is not much info on them!

I also have a cool twin bar that is on a previous page on this thread! I guess I am now a Elgin collector! :D

The toolbox one has a really cool set of handlebars!
