They several antique/junk shops that I frequent looking for old stuff, and I dropped by one of them that I haven't been to in a while. I asked if he had found any old bicycles or parts and he first said no, but then told to hang on on a minute and brought out these 2 old chainguards. They were in plastic tote of stuff that got rained in, but both are still solid. The blue is obviously a pre-war style Schwinn feather guard, but I don't what the other one is. I've never seen one like, but I am definitely going to be using it on a future project. It is very cool. I paid $2 each for them.

I also picked up this pedal car from him. He only wanted $20 for it, so I thought a rad-rodded pedal car would look with my collection. I think I'm going to put some red rims and whitewalls on it and hang it on wall of the shop.

Blue guard is a postwar Schwinn. I can just barely see what's left of the Hornet decal on there. Gary
 
cant say what that crusty unknown guard is but for some reason it reminds me of the late 40's caddys :mrgreen:
be sure to post some pictures of the pedal car when its done please!
