I've been organizing my photo library this week when I discovered four head badge photos from 2006. This Elgin is one of the oldest bikes I've seen on the street.
Elgin was a house brand for Sears Roebuck before World War 2. They were sold for $14.95 under the Elgin King name in 1910 and later just as Elgin. By the 1930s Elgin was a prestige brand known for their innovative design. The bikes were made by Westfield or Murray Ohio. Elgin bikes in good condition are now collector's items. Here's a 1941 model that's going for $3899.
