This color brochure folds down to 9 surfaces each about 9.25 by 6.25 inches and is in full color except for the closeups of special bike features of the spring fork shock absorber shown with Bob Hope and Yale cyclelock shown with Jerry Colonna. 10 bikes are shown complete and in color but the big feature is the stars standing by or riding or paused while riding Schwinn bicycles. The brochure is not dated but comments on the stars carefully omit film names or details that might provide a date (and require studio permission and a fee); I'd say it is from about 1939. Color photos are about 6x6.5 inches of Rita Hayworth on the cover, Jackie Cooper with June Preisser, Bob Hope, Dorothy Lamour , Jerry Colonna, Blondie with Dagwood and Baby Dumpling and Daisy dog, Eddie Cantor with wife and 5 girls, Jackie Cooper alone, Gene Autry with horse Champion by the bike, Richard Dix and his twin boys, Brenda Joyce, and Bing Crosby with his 4 boys. A few of the fold edges are showing wear but it is a magnificent showpiece with sharply detailed bike anatomy as well as star portraits.
