Description: R.A. and F.D. Stranahan are essentially the founders of Champion Spark Plug Company. Sort of. At the very least, they ended up with the patent on the Champion name which they legally and wisely used to eventually create the largest spark plug manufacturing company in the world. But it certainly didn’t start out that way. More than 20 thousand dollars in debt, and with a company that was fledgling along at best, the brothers had little choice but to move to Toledo when Willys-Overland Motor Company offered R.A. and F.D. a contract under which Champion would become the exclusive spark plug of automobiles manufactured at Willys-Overland. The deal came with the stipulation that the Stranahans must make Toledo their home.
Description: A weathered souvenir from a mountain getaway that should probably have stayed closed for the winter. This retro Overlook Mountain Hotel design blends an old Colorado resort graphic with snow-covered peaks, eerie twin figures, geometric corridor-inspired patterns, and the unmistakable Room 237 key tag. Finished with faded inks, distressed texture, and warm 1970s colors for the look of a forgotten hotel gift-shop tee found decades too late.
Description: Excelsior Motor Manufacturing & Supply Company was an American motorcycle manufacturer operating in Chicago from 1907 to 1931. In 1912, an Excelsior was the first motorcycle to be officially timed at a speed of 100 mph, and by 1928, Excelsior was the third-largest manufacturer in the U.S. motorcycle market, but they would never make it to second place. In 1929, the stock market crash and the resulting Great Depression caused motorcycle sales to plummet. Excelsior ceased operations in September 1931, putting an end to one of America's earliest motorcycle manufacturers and popular bikes like the Big X and Super X.
