I think we can say; We've found our boy '1916' 11 years later, right smack in the front, again. Larger assembly shop and well lit. For comparison See photos below:

Work summary:
- Replaced damaged "keyed" stem with a near identical match- still trying to find an advert to confirm ID but Indiana Novelty Handlebar is a good contender.
- Removed incorrect spoon brake and bow pedals.
- Cleaned frame and original hardware thoroughly.

Additions: I tried to keep the hardware I added as close to period appropriate catalog optional as I could.
- Bridgeport No. 2 rat trap pedals
- Theim's adjustable wire toe clips
- Dual layer laminate / finger joined rims I believe are Kundtz Bending Works rims with very close to appropriate looking large barrel hubs in the appropriate sizes.
- Boston Woven Hose co. / VIM tires in "pebble tread" pattern - I believe this is the rare "floxine" color they patented and made quite popular.
