1921 Iver Johnson Bicycle Engine Carburator And Gas Tank

[kdoran999]

I just found a 1921 iver johnson bicycle engine carburator and gas tank and was wondering what these might be worth? I am totally new to the bicycle world.

I will post pix as soon as I can.

Any Information would be helpful,

Thank you,

Ken D

I'd say it's big bucks and can't wait to see a photo

Iver Johnson produced motorcycles and if that's what you found it could be worth a fortune. Does it look anything like this?

Is it marked Iver Johnson or just Johnson?

I'm betting that it's one of these.

Thanks for the replies! Its not the motorcycle engine, its the bicycle pic i think. I don't know where it would be marked? Downloading pix now, will upload in a few.

Is it marked Iver Johnson or just Johnson?

Oh yeah its probably "just" a Johnson Motor Wheel.

Here are all the pix. the 1st is the actual bike the motor was on, then the 1943 registration. The man I bought it from said this was his dads bike, and he sold the bike in the 1950's, but kept the engine. Hope you all can tell me all I might need to know to come up with an estimate of the value. I did not find any marks or serial #, but the engine does have a layer of dried grease, maybe covering it, but I don't know where on the engine to look.
Thanks again for everyones help, I really appreciate it!
Ken

1943 registration says the motors serial # is 13917. Would that # be correct?
