In the US the “Sportster” was part of a short (one year?) post-WWII revival of the Elto brand.
In Canada, Elto was the equivalent of the Gale brand, and lasted longer (thru the 50’s?)
Yeah that may be the case. Do you know where I might be able to find one? (P.S. I think you are right, I’m pretty sure the Elto Sportsters were only made in 1949 and 1950.)
