Working bikes of the early 20th century.
Fireman's bike. Complete with siren, light, hose, axe, nozzel, prybar, helmet and safety belt. Can't you picture a half dozen of these racing down the street to put out a fire?
Tool Sharpener's Bike. I'm guessing that this puppy weighs a lot. Once the sharpener arrived he moved the chain from the drive gear to the wheel and pedaled to turn the grinder. I'll bet that people who lived at the bottom of the hill had sharper knives than those who lived at the top!
The Barrel Maker's Bike. He would show up to make or repair barrels and buckets.
Salt Delivery Bike.
Butter Delivery Bike.
The Postman's Bike.
The Wool Carder's Bike. The wool carder was mostly used in the winter to fluff up the the wool in matresses.
The Painter's Bike.
The Photographer's Bike
