1937 CWC Roadmaster Berry Cohen Special

[American Vintage Bicycle Supply]

Here is a special bike in my collection; literally. The "Berry Cohen Special" is a CWC Roadmaster built specifically for Berry Cohen bike shop in Atlanta Georgia in 1937. Berry Cohen is the Patent holder for the "Jiffy Kick" kickstand and as you might guess, the Berry Cohen Special came equipped with a Jiffy Kick instead of a typical drop stand. So much Bicycle History packed between two wheels.

The badge is really what makes this bike "special" no pun intended. (Steve, Just saw the special joke after I posted this...Funny)

I've got a Beck and Gregg hardware Atlanta Georgia '39 Schwinn Autocycle, that's the one with the 700 series Whizzer motor

And matching pair of '41 Schwinn Walco Sporting goods Atlanta Georgia bikes

Not sure how many other Atlanta Badged bicycles are out there but I want to find them all.

I know of a 5 seater track bike that is badged "Saw Cohen bicycles Atlanta Georgia " that's Berry Cohens brother.

Guy won't sell it. It's just hanging in his barn.

Kind of a related question.... Can you convert a standard jiffy kick to a drop stand? I like the drop stand look but noticed the originals have a "stop" manufacturered into a frame. Mine is a 40's Rollfast..
