Anything worth while here? Probably not actually military...but civilian post ww1 era?

I could use that headbadge. Is it for sale?

 

[Euphman06]

No

Looks like a Miami motorbike frame and fork with detachable
Westfield trussrods (Westfield purchased Miami Cycle Co.) ...
and a 30-tooth .. Miami .. one-inch pitch chainring.

Thanks Patric! Any value on these? I'm more into ballooners, just happened to stumble upon this

Whats the point in a value if it's not for sale? Just put it on and say 100,000,000 and you will get a value.

Because it's for sale.... but I'm not the one selling it

The least valuable piece is the fork.

It's not quite a Miami because of those loose
trussrods. For someone that wants to build a
Miami ... this package would be of value.

The Military badge may have been originally
placed by Westfield. But a ''would-be'' builder
of a Miami machine would not want that badge
on her / his Miami rig.

I see two packages here >>> the badge is one
unit that could benefit someone ... AND everything
else as the second unit.

While I don't feel comfortable putting a cash value
on either unit ... I will say your stumble could be a
modest money-maker .. if you avoid dealing with a
greedy hand.

You are very fortunate.

Yea this bike was on here before. I know a few people wanted to buy it the first time around, but the owner would let it go, or wanted too much, or both....
