Trying to contribute to build a most complete frame number list here's a 3C from Italy frame # 96613.
To my understanding the bike is a 1902
The bike has a 26 in.frame and I believe it's complete. As far as I know this is an old import from Copake.
I completely disassembled the bike, clean it and reassemble it. I did not add any nickel or paint and I haven't replaced any part, apart from the spokes as I had a fabulous TOC nikel plated set.
A set of 80 pictures with all individual parts can be find in my album at flickr.com. You can search giorgioxyz or Pierce Chainless Bicycle.
The bike is functional. Original wooden rims still in good condition, nice Brown saddle with a still soft leather.
I enclose few of pictures.
Additional info about the bike or comments are welcome.

Grips are NOS celluloid from early 1900.I bought them long ago and I thought they were a good fitness for the Pierce. Frame number 96613

TY Giorgio..I'll add your fantastic machine to the list. Well done. The fork would date it around 1902 - if it is Orig to the bike....as per the chart at the start of this thread.
Bellissimo!!!!!

 

[giorgio]

Thanks for the note. The fork is for sure original to the bike. If you have time have a look at every individual parts in my flickr album. In holiday now. When back I will upload the album on this site as well.
Ciao
