That was a very limited printing of one of the classiest, most detailed motorcycle books ever written. I know Bob Turek had a few awhile back so you might send him a P.M. Unfortunately, a sizable quantity of that book disappeared.

Hi --- American Excelsior has been out of print for a couple years. I don't have any extras left and I believe that the my co-author Thomas Bund is out too. They do appear on ebay and Amazon sometimes.

Thank you both for your reply. If ever hear of a copy available please let me know. Besides my interest in Excelsior I also own the hand painted Schwinn sign and the bronze letters from the building which are prominently shown the factory demolition section in the book.

Bump, anyone have one available please?

Are you looking for a factory produced, dealer sold, 1914 oil like painting of the factory? I have an NOS one. I visited the factory in 1992 just before it was destroyed. The contents were moved downtown to the original Arnold/Schwinn factory building in 1947 after Ingnaz passed. A couple of blocks from the towers where Schwinn had their corp. offices at the time. I got to visit that too. Loads of blueprints of Excelsior, Henderson, and Super X. So cool!

Thank you Rich. I actually have one of those prints of the factory.
Still interested in buying the book if anyone has one available for sale.
