Grandpas old bike
I have a bike that was my grandfathers. He has passed away. All I know about this bike as it was his when he was a child and he was 84.
I ave attached some photos if anyone can help me:
figuring our what kind of bike it is?
The name of the bike?
How to find out how old it is?
How much it may be worth?
It is a chainless childs bike. The logo is worn off from the turning of the handlebars. Starts with an "M". One of the photos is of what remains of the logo
Any answers please email me at schmeb@charter.net
Thanks!!

Definitely cool and definitely not what we're accustomed to here. That said, maybe there's someone among our ranks who is a closet tricycle/'sidewalk cruiser' fan who can help.

That is going to have more sentimental value than cash value.
84 = 1927, two wheels = 3-6 years old, so if in fact it was his when he was a child then I'd guess 1930-1933. Looks newer than that though.

I agree, it looks newer... More like dad's old bike, not grandpa's. But I'm the exact opposite of an expert, so I'm just guessing.

Looks like 1960's to me. "M" may be Murray..?

Just a thought.

Thats a 1950s/1960s era bike. So if grandpa owned it, it was for one of his kids.
