Depends, they were date coded. I think there were subtle changes along the way. the 1935 Morrow might have been nickel plated instead of chrome as well, but I can't say for sure.
Is this real? Did I really find this? More parts

I will look at it better when I get home tomorrow. I thought only sturmey archers were dated
You are correct. I found this picture on the cabe. If i can get mine like this, Id be a really happy man
Today i found the correct fenders without braces and handlebar. I will have to wait a bit before i can go back and pay for them but they are being saved for me
The Morrow hub I have is a J4 meaning fourth quarter 1940. Close enough for me. I will try swapping it over some time when Im done with my wbo bike
well now this gets added to my man what acool find bikes!!! i hae never seen one elgin makes some really sweet bikes a company that was ahead of it's time on design and style
I looked on the cabe, my hube is 4th quarter 1940. Bike is 36-38 from what I can tell. If I get to a point of nothing else to do bike wise I might lace it on. Otherwise I might just wait for an older correct part
I just got the correct headbadge and fenders. Going to make a later trade for braces. The chaingurd is not original but it just looks too perfect for it. Also, I have a 1937 Morrow hub set aside for it. No luck with a fork yet. If I get a rear wheel together, I may assemble it with a different fork until the right one comes along
