Found these yesterday

[gokart25]

These were literally in a barn..
I don't know what to do with them, I might move them over to the for sale thread.
I can't find much about the Shapleigh hardware "Special".
The other is a Schwinn, but haven't determined the model and year yet...
Any interest or help identifying these...Thanks

The Schwinn head badge , chain guard and front rack resemble a 3 speed corvette ?
Is that top bearing cup recessed into the head tube ?
The Shapleigh hardware steerer tube looks like it was ran over ?

Yes, the top bearing is recessed into the head tube. I haven't figure that out yet(I've never seen that before).. I might have to take it apart to look at it.
The Shapleigh forks look bent back a little, like someone ran into a wall.

Then I'm pretty sure it's a Schwinn corvette . That recessed head cup is is hard to find . I have used one when I needed a few more threads from the fork tube , to add truss rods .

True about the recessed bearing cup and it being a 3 speed Corvette. The other Schwinn looks like a 54 - 56 Hornet (not the DeLuxe model though) with the feather chain guard and torpedo headlight.

Aren't the pinstripe decals 1980 and later?

The shapleigh isn't a schwinn...I think it may be Columbia/Westfield built....1937-ish.
