Huge thank you to Brian Skahan for his gracious 2023 donation of these two beautiful original Fritzie's Roamers Motorcycle Club coins commemorating the 1936 Keene, New Hampshire 200 Mile National Championship TT event.

Brian mentioned that he had acquired the coins at an estate sale years ago and recently ran across them again when cleaning out a drawer. Brian also mentioned that, although he does not have any particular interest in motorcycles himself, he felt strongly that the coins should be back where they belong with the Fritzie's Roamers Indian Motorcycle Riders Group- thank you again Brian for your thoughtful and considerate choice in reaching out to us.

Huge thank you also to Jon Rogers of Greenbrier, Arkansas for his very generous 2023 donation of mid-1930's original 'The Indian News' prints, plus an Indian Arrow & Scout Repair and Overhaul Manual.

Jon shared that the prints came from his father's dear friend George, who had them in his Indiana home; which Jon's father purchased from George's son after George passed away in the 90's. The Indian prints and manual are part of what was found in the home at that time, and what Jon held onto after his folks passed away in 2021.
