C&F was a hardware/feed type store who sold bikes, they had a layaway program called the "C&F Penny club". A 1939 ad in Evolution of the bicycle vol 2 shows Shelby-built bikes. I tried to look up your JCH number but couldn't find a match. I'm guessing it's a 64 ish Spaceliner, but pics will confirm. -Adam

If you decide to part it out, I would be interested in the chain guard.
