I live for the CABE
I've decided to sell a couple bikes and my Yale is one of them.
Based on info I could find and help from the people that really know their stuff here on the CABE I'm pretty sure it's a 1918 Davis built Yale. There is no headbadge and I know these can be hard to find and expensive. Rims spin true and easy - brakes work fine on the stand.
A period rear fender goes with the bike although I'm not sure if it's for the Yale or not.
Below are a few pics - I have a bunch more and can take pics of anything needed.
Pics also in the " Show your Davis built bicycles " thread on Page 24 along with some info on the bike.
Local sale preferred but will ship via BikeFlights - buyer pays actual shipping from Cincinnati, OH
Thoughts on value was a pretty wide range so I'm starting in the middle at $1100
Price drop to $800 plus shipping if needed

I'm at a point where this isn't moving and unfortunately I've had a shift to where I spend my time and know I'll never get this bike to where and what it deserves.
I'm open to offers on the Yale........hopefully it'll get restored and not flipped.
I don't sell often but when I do it's as important to me that the bike ends up with the right person even if I don't get top dollar.
If you're local or within a drive ( optional meet up ) I'll throw in the blue bike as a freebie ( not old ) and the extra fender and rack go with the Yale it if shipped. Not exactly sure what they are off of but they are old.
