Can you identify this bike (pre 1927)?

Hi,

I have a real photo postcard that was mailed in 1927. I have tried hard to find reference to it but cannot. I was hoping that someone here would be able to help me out.

Thanks

I don't know what the bike is, but I think the 1927 mailing date is a good clue that it's some type of motorized-bicycle product of the time. There were a few different ones on the market but I don't know them.

Superficially it looks like an early motorcycle, but I would say more likely late teens or 1920s. Nothing I recognize, but somebody should be able to.

Just my guess...

Can you tell if it was an American or perhaps British Post mark?? Looking thru a few of my early motorcycle books, I tend to think its British in origin. The front fender/brackets are similiar to a few of the very early British bikes. Also that second lower frame top loop appears on another british bike I've found. Click onto one of the British/European bike museum sites. Might turn up something there...Later... ...Hrdly-Dangrs
