I don't think this bike had left Smock, PA since the 1890's.
Found in a barn loft during estate clean out last week, I purchased it at auction Sunday.
I believe it is an 1894 +/- Waverly Scorcher but I am open to being corrected.
It is a very tall frame but pretty rough around the edges, however it was sitting in the barn im glad the bars were shielded, they appear to have been painted at one time so that may have also played a part.
Wheels / hubs appear to be original as does the crankset based solely on the snug fit.
Pedals are non matching and the beautiful wood drop bars were likely added by the owner, at least that is my assumption but again, open for discussion.
