Well. I finally found out who made my mystery saddle bags shown earlier in this discussion. It looks like they came from T.J. O'Conner & Sons, Inc. of Baltimore, Md.

The early VLs took the four 'towel rail' saddlebag hangers, and I've seen these on a 36VL so I think they were used throughout for the utility bags. The half moon saddlebag hangers seem to have come out in 1936-39 and are designed for an 18" wheel and not a 19" as on the VL, explaining the odd holes on the sides of original VL mudguards where the later style saddlebags have been fitted.

Dude?
I don't get it.
Looks like a nymph to me. (Or is that a damn 'man-bun'?)

Cotten; I've seen the winged wheel patches on the old M/C caps. But I'm not sure if this is a winged wheel. The circle appears to have a Dude walking. And I do mean Dude !!CIMG1397.jpg

A winged-wheel must be timeless, Craig!
This was cut from a wood-burning stove door.

Here is a pair of early saddlebags that I believe are from the Jd - Vl era. I don't know what company made them, but I'm guessing an early accessory outfit.CIMG1389.JPGCIMG1390.jpgCIMG1391.jpgCIMG1392.jpg
