AVAILABLE TO SELL, I HAVE A DUPLICATE! This picture shows two NOS (brand new, unused but with some scratches due to shelf life) black color handlebars; The lower handlebar is this generic un-branded bar for a 1940s lightweight bike. The knurls are not as deep on the Schwinn as the knurls on the generic handlebar (lower). Although both handlebars (Schwinn & generic) appear to be made in America, they appear to be made from different tooling and therefore probably are from different makers (maybe Torrington & Wald). Both handlebars appear to have the same shape as the Wald #851 English Style. This shape of handlebar was used on several models of American made bikes produced in the 1940. See the picture gallery for additional photos.
