Here are a few pics for you guys to checkout and would love to both know more about it and how much is it worth.

I also have a parts box with the original

Messing with it will reduce the value- just find another tire to match the front and the same seat with a good cover and you are done!
 
Nice I like it... i has the wrong pedals and rear hub has been changed. should look like the front with ball end spokes.. very hard to find. It needs a original seat and the paint looks to be resprayed at one time. That’s it on I’d leave it alone..
 
Really, really nice bike. Good luck w/ it. I agree w/ all of the previous comments. As far as actual year of the bike, I believe that "the American bicycle company" was only in existence from 1900 to1901, or thereabouts.

Actually, 1899
