Withdrawn Northwest Patrol Head badge

[100bikes]

Thanks to all who responded to my request for information on the rare head badge.
Also, thanks for the inquiries and purchase offers as well.

I have decided to put it up for sale thru DoND.

As I (now)realize the rarity of this badge, I wanted to give anyone with interest a chance
to own it.

I will look at all offers thru:

8 pm on Saturday 1/27/2024.

Assume "No Deal" until that time.

Collected from your information :

Northwest Patrol Head Badge
Arnold, Schwinn and Co.
Chicago
USA

Here is the information I have collected:

Schwinn badge from the prewar period. Schwinn mostly stopped using the oval
badges in ‘35, but you occasionally see them on ‘36 or even 1937.
So, most likely from ‘32-‘35(Thanks Onecatahula)

Pre-World War II

Brass base
Nickle plate with copper and paint

Long Dimension : 68mm
Short Dimension: 39mm
Holes C to C: 56mm

Top screw hole shows removal damage(see photo).

Only cleaning I have done is a quick rinse in tap water and a soft towel dry.

There appears to be a (shop) grime layer which should clean pretty easily.

Based upon the completeness of the paint, I would think this badge could
register a 7.5++ /10 after cleaning.

The third photo highlights a slight ding in the edge of the badge.

Shipping will be $10, including appropriate packaging and insurance.
Tracking provided.
