TOWER 120 – Made for Sears by PHO-TAK (mid 1950’s)

Sears and Roebucks used to sell damn near everything a consumer could want. You could
pick up a set of box wrenches. A washing machine. A tractor. A muffler and a camera.

There were two Sears stores in my town when I was a kid. One was a catalog store. You
went there to order things out of Sear’s massive catalog. The other store was packed with stuff.
I got my first grownup fishing reel from Sears by way of my Uncle Frankie.

I called these high rise bike handlebars “armpit coolers” or “ape hangers.” The small bike style was known as a “Sting Ray.”

Big time chopper days.
