The Roadmaster brand is now known as a junk, big-box, cheap bicycle, but that wasn't always the case. In the 1990's all production was moved to Taiwan and the quality sank to its lowest level ever. These pre-war bicycles were from the "golden age" of the company, back when Roadmaster was associated with quality.ĪMF purchased the Roadmaster brand in 1951 and the quality immediately dropped. Roadmaster bicycles were discontinued during the war years. This particular head badge came off of one of the pre-WW2 balloon tire bicycles, which would date this badge in the 1936 to 1941 time frame. The Cleveland Welding Company manufactured and owned the Roadmaster brand of bicycles from about 1936 until the company was sold to AMF in 1951. I picked up a great bicycle head badge off of a pre-war Roadmaster Bicycle for 50 cents! and what would a day of errands be without a quick stop at the local treasure store, "Waste Not Want Not"?
