Headbadges !! Headbadges !!
I've got a box full of them but my favorite is on an old Schwinn. Mainly because it's rarely, if ever seen.

This was on an ancient "yard art" bike in the neighborhood that leaned against a tree stump for years until workers removed it and cast the stumpless bike to the curb. I've been told the bike is not a real Continental and is most likely a New World but I don't have a badge for that and do still have this '42 ladies' bike if anyone wants it.

Lovely art, but a badge is attached not a decal.
I have rode both, but prefer the image in 3D.
Metal over paint/vinyl/aluminum...
Jen Green from Philadelphia did the De Rosa take.
The Moots just makes me feel young and stupid.
I love the iconic historic head tube branding, but love the 3D more
