Leamington auction find last weekend

Acquired this one at the Leamington auction this past weekend  serial # 17723S   (1959)  Question is anyone know why the two  3/8 diam holes were drilled in the top rail, also the small holes in the top caps on the forks.

Temporary insanity? smiley

Seriously though, I can't think of anything that couldn't also be accomplished with a home-made bracket. They wrecked a good frame.

 

 

Indeed they did ruin it.  I plan on using the wheels and other parts on a 1944 frame I have.
