Lucky enough to score this boneshaker...locally to boot! Didn't know enough about it if it was original or something made later, but a few Wheelmen have chimed in thinking that it is an original. The handlebars will twist to apply the rear brake, although the string is not installed (yet).

You likely know Louis Garneau. He is a pretty sophisticated collector of this vintage. You may want to reach out to him.

I acquired my CMC from the same Gentleman in Fort Worth.
The boneshaker definitely looked original to me when I saw it.
He acquired them both at auction in California decades ago.

Yep, same guy. Spoke very highly of you. Enjoyed meeting you. I've known this guy for 35 years, hadn't seen him in 30, and completely forgot he had these bikes.
