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:
Did some work this morning trying to add period options and fill in the gaps where I had to.
Figured it was time for a proper little photo shoot.
I think it's time to drop the bars next!
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.
Really difficult to say with certainty. I will keep looking it over closely though and report back if I see anything that strikes me as original finish.
Nice build, Jesse.
That old relic sure fell into the right hands.
It looks amazing, considering that a week ago, it was all covered in silt, and looked like it had been dug out of a tomb.

You're talking about the second man from the right in the top photo and the far left in the bottom? It looks like it could be the same guy, but I'd want a better photo to say for sure.
Following the conversation with @corbettclassics I dropped the bars for a quick photo or two before the rain today just for the sake of conversation and visual stimulation.
I neglected a few of the detail shots in the first round and forgot to tighten my banjo tensioners up but they are square now.
