1938-1941 Sears Collegiate (Elgin)

Sears “Collegiate”, not to be confused with the Schwinn by the same name. This was a lower-priced model sold by Sears, which did not carry the usual “Elgin” badge held by the rest of the Sears bicycle line. These bikes were never fully equipped, but strangely did have a tank. They even wore cheaper tires with thinner sidewalls and tread!
