https://www.sportsrec.com/398581-western-flyer-bicycle-history.htmlYes, it’s off a Western Flyer bicycle. My sister’s WF had the same grip.

at the Western Auto stores, but I can’t say I’ve ever seen one.Prepare to be boarded!

January 31, 2022 at 10:23 am #253711Discount Marine has a reference page for Western Flyer Outboards….apparently made by Gale.

Peter Hunn’s book also makes reference to Gale 2.5 and 5hp motors being produced under the Western Flyer name just prior to World War II.
I can’t say that I’ve ever seen one; although the Western Flyer name was iconic for a lot of years at a Western Auto Supply store near you.
January 31, 2022 at 12:12 pm #253720Interesting.
I do believe there was a Sea Flyer outboard made by Gale for BF Goodrich.
January 31, 2022 at 12:30 pm #253721Interesting, now I really want to see the “Gale built” outboards sold by Western Auto!
Now that I think of it, at one time I had a WA parts motor which
was a 25 Mercury of sorts.Prepare to be boarded!
