Vintage bike parts Schwinn and Sturmey Archer
About 2 years ago i bought a "lot" from an estate sale in their old farm barn. What I assumed I had was old tractor parts, but today i pulled some of them out and saw schwinn and Sturney Archer parts. I took a picture of a few things I brought in to look up, but there are many larger parts and all sorts of stuff. I am pretty sure this is old stuff, On the largest metal box, there is a date of 1940. This box is full of gears and hubs, etc. I guess I am looking to sell it all, either in a lot or through Ebay, but I would rather sale it all. I am in Goldsboro, NC, so if anyone close to here I will be glad to meet you. I will also post some more pictures to give you an idea of how much stuff it is.

There are about 30 more small drawers filled with spare parts. It's kinda bad I waited almost 3 years to even look at this stuff, but to someone who knows little about bike parts.......I thought this was farm stuff

You should look at the Sturmey Archer Heritage site for exploded diagrams that will help you identify the various parts you have. Some of the more exotic parts, for example, a "Threaded driver", may garner some interest, especially from ME!! It might be easier to contact one of the SA hub repairing services to see if they might buy the whole kit from you. Unfortunately, there are a lot of three speed parts around so I wouldn't expect high price for what you have.

Looks like a lot of that is Shimano, I think. Have you tried the Classic & Vintage forum?

Thanks for all the help and advice everyone, but due to the size of the lot, and my lack of knowledge, I decided to just sale it all on EBay, thanks again
