I'm still learning my vintage ways, but today I hit my local antique store, I pop in now and then and can usually find some older Bee decks and Ohio Bikes. Today I picked up 4 Ohio Jumbo Index Bikes, 2 sealed and 2 open. Then the, I can't pass it up part. A nice old Bicycle 808 Tangent Back, an old Stud and Streamline deck. The best part, I only spent $4.00 :D
Now I many not be able to retire on these, but the 808, Stud and Streamline have me doing some homework, so any help is appreciated.

Tangent deck not that common. Looks like Hochman US8e [according to my new digital version of the Hochman Encyclopedia!!] in the wrong box [Racer]. Always nice to find a deck with that brand that is about 85 years old!

Wow! great finds!

It's funny Tom as I posted the pictures I noticed the "Race Back" on the tuck, lol.............still well worth my investment :)

Wait, I'm confused here. I thought this was Racer Back #2 -

and this was Tangent Back -

So doesn't that mean you do have a Racer Back in the correct box?

I'll correct myself once again, this is indeed a Racer Back deck, the Tangent is similar, but the handy dandy guide helped out

good news - right box for right deck!!
