A farthing was 1/4 of a penny.
It's unlikely to have been any penny farthing bicycles made in 1939. By that time the design had already been made obsolete by the introduction of the safety bicycle.
No, there were four Farthings in a Penny. A farthing is one quarter of a Penny.
Penny-Farthing Press was created in 1998.
The penny-farthing (an early bicycle) had two wheels of different diameters, the penny and the farthing were two coins of different diameters.
The front wheel on a penny farthing does both drive and steering.
A Penny Farthing was a 19th Century bicycle invented in 1871 by British engineer, James Starley. A Penny and a Farthing are both coins from the now redundant British predecimal currency system. The Penny Farthing bicycle was so named for the contrast of the size of the front and back wheels which were likened to a Penny and a Farthing.
A "Penny Farthing" is not a coin, it was a very popular 19th Century bicycle invented in 1871 by British engineer, James Starley. It was called a "Penny Farthing" because of the disparate size of the two wheels, which were likened to a "Penny" and a "Farthing". There were Penny coins and Farthing coins, with four Farthings (Fourthings) to the Penny. Make up your mind which coin you have and resubmit your question.
The British Farthing, whether it was made from bronze or copper, was one quarter of a Penny. I do not believe that there was a US equivalent.
