After finding the year, compare the bike to the pics in these catalogs and brochures:

1941 - 1950
1951 - 1959
1960 - 1970 Miscelleaneous pics
Other Publications
The Amlie - Hufford Collection
1960 - 1979
The Cooper - Findley Collection
1980 - 1990
1991 - 2000

If the catalog pics are hard to read, roll the cursor around the lower right corner until a square with an arrow at each corner appears:

Click on the square, and the pic will display in its original size.
