Early bicycle front hubs

These early hubs seen at the Trexlertown(old) bike swap. Notice the various ways spokes are attached to the hubs. Most of these are 1890s. 100 years later, these spoke systems were 'rediscovered' by companies like Mavic, Pulsar, and Shimano, to be used one boutique wheels they were building for elite cyclists.

Scorcher Cabinet card I recently bought

After a nice day spent at a Wolf Sanctuary, I stopped in at a random antique mart that litters the Lancaster County area. I usually avoid these types of places as they are usually full of overpriced knickknacks and 'antiques.' Browsing through, I ran across a friend, who was a vendor there, and he showed me some bicycle ephemera that he was selling. This card was found there. Nice early scorcher racing bike. The handlebars have a nice deep, unique bend, with a bell attached near the stem. Appears to be a Fauber crank and has early toeclips, much like what a fellow collector was asking us about. It also has a plated rear cog, that really stands out. I assume someone familiar with this era bicycles, could make out the headbadge.
