Once upon a time it was common for small-town companies to re-badge and sell fairly generic bicycles.
Here in Richmond, VA our own Agee's re-branded Colombias with this impressive looking badge. The bike this came off of had the old skip-tooth chain and crank dating it in the early to mid 40's.

County of Henrico bicycle license plates
Just a couple examples of the many types of bicycle license plates. These two both from the county of Henrico outside Richmond, VA.
These are so reminiscent of the original bicycle head badge style I think they are my favorite over those modeled after a automobile license plate.

1890's era Safety Bicycle
Very cool and tall 1890's era safety bicycle.
Unknown maker but the bike was found in Richmond, Va so possibly one of these:
The Wheelmen Bicycle Brand Search
Persons saddle frame from 1911
Wooden Musselman wheelset from 1910.
Original skip-tooth crank and chain with early block links.
