Found this at a small tear out at an elementary school. It was made for a 1915-1917 Indian chief bicycle. Came up as a 12-46 on the etrac. Not silver but still a pretty cool find.

That is an outstanding find. Relic bike badges like the shape that one is in are far and few between. I also am casting a banner vote.

You find things like that and Mike and Frank form "American Pickers" Will be knocking on your door. Great looking bike badge at 100 years old!
This just proves that Treasure comes in many forms.

Congrats on the banner buddy! I'm kinda jealous, mine didn't get the prestigious banner nomination.

First person or people I thought of when I saw this, Mike Wolf with Antique Archeology on the TV show. He loves bicycles and I bet he would love to purchase it.
