1937 TruSport from Philadelphia PA.
I first found this bike on CraigsList in early March 2012. It was in Vineland, New Jersey, a long ride from my home. In mid-April my wife and I traveled to N. J. to visit our daughter who is a student at Rowan University near Vineland. On April 15th, the seller still had it, and I picked it up at that time.

The Rear Reflector
This is the coolest bicycle reflector I have ever seen.
Springer Seat
Springer seats with these tall springs are highly sought-after.
