Since Howie Cohen's passing, no items are for sale.
This pre WW2 bicycle was most likely produced by Manton&Smith of Chicago, IL. The head badge is L.W. KEENAN CO so the bike was either produced for Keenan Co or was re-badged sometime in its life. Notice the fork-lock. The bike is hanging in an old building in Portland, OR. Thanks to Scott McCaskey for identifying the manufacturer of the Portland, OR bike. See the picture gallery.
