Interesting point Tom. I'd like to think the sheet metal may be somewhere. That's a great project for sure. Jellywrestler you might want to do a search on "Frank Westfall leather". He collects bikes from New York and may be able to point you in the right direction.

Is there a chance all your sheet metal is sitting in a paint shop somewhere and forgotton about? Tom #381

the bike was discovered in an estate clearance in 1997 as a basket case, what was there was rounded up and assembled and some restoration work has already been done, two frame tubes replaced since so no chance sadly.

Nice find! These guys may be able to point you in the right direction... http://www.antiquemotorcycleworks.com/

cheers for that, have already made contact as they list exhausts and crank pedals, biggest problem is that they're so rare is to make sure that the parts fit my model.

Thanks from New Zealand

Hi there,

I have been hunting anything Emblem for afew years in Australia and Europe. I thought there would be quite a lot of available parts/bikes or other material seeing as tey built until 1925 for the export market, but thee is very little indeed. I am always in the market for Emblem bits or bikes and if I find aything tht might interest you and that I do not need, I will direct it to you.

Cheers Phil

I'm very interested in getting hold of this gentleman and photos of his Emblem.

Adminguy,

Somebody...(me).......has been meaning to recharge the batteries in his camera no flash was needed.

The village of Angola,New York that the building is located in is still a fairly rural area with some farms.

The info that I have posted on the Emblem motorcycle is from a book on motorcycles made in New York State with Emblem being the longest article in it there are some breakdowns by model years with some changes noted and a few pictures and company advertisements.

Jurassic,

Still looking for the photo have not forgotten you!

Thanks for posting that Chuck. Very interesting to see. Try turning the flash off when you take pics out doors -as it drains the batteries.

Very strange for me to see a chunk of real estate like that unused. As we are geographically bound in my area. Density is the reality.

Yes it is great to see it standing but it has not been used since the early 1990's and is currently for sale.
I have heard in the past that some people would like it knocked down because it is a gathering place for kids.
I Will try to get some other photos........my digital camera batteries quit yesterday after 3 photos
