This past fall, my friend bought a 1942 Elgin at the Royal Oak Swap. I fell in love with it, and had I had a little more cash in my pocket at the time - it would have been mine.
In November I found, what I was pretty sure was a 42, for sale about 4-1/2 hours away north of Chicago on Facebook Marketplace... near of all places, Elgin, IL.
The wife and I decided to make a road trip of it and went to go fetch it. Here's what it looked like that day.
