Have for sale a vintage (early 20th century?) tire pump, with mounting bracket, nice condition, plating may clean up some, but does not pump air. See pictures for size, about 10 inches long when retracted. $10 shipping from Winchester Va. to continental U.S. Thanks David Coco

I agree leave tires on it as is. Thoughts on badge with screws? I’ve always preferred original rivets.

I'm learning more every day, I thought there'd be a bit more interest in this memorabilia, oh well, live and...you know. Thanks for the forum being here, it's a great format and appreciate opportunity to learn and post. dc

Sorry been out of town, no deal but thanks for start

Thanks for the start, no deal

Buffalo Pierce Head Badge in nice condition, see photos as they are major part of the description. One small bend as seen in pictures. David Coco Winchester Va.

1901 Pierce Pan American shaft drive. It was pointed out to me that there are inconsistencies on the bike I advertised. Removing from for sale list, not my intent to mislead nor think I have something I don't. I'll continue pride of ownership, warts and all. Thank you to the person pointing...

SOLD thank you. I have three Pierce catalogs for sale. 1899 and 1902 nice, 1910 has some wear on cover and foxing first inner pages front and back. $450 all three, free shipping continental US. May split up if no interest in all together. Right now just catalogs for sale, other memorabilia...

SOLD pending payment.

Pierce Special Racer for sale, $1500, located in Winchester Va. Prefer pickup, but will box for free and ship at buyer’s expense. A number of years ago, I met Carl Burgwardt at the October Hershey, Pa. Car show and flea market. I had no Pierce bicycle at that time, but loved and owned...

Bikes are sold pending full payment, have a deposit...thanks David C.

I have one Pierce chain drive bike, two Pierce shaft drive bikes, and a shaft drive frame with fork and extra gear set. I would like to sell them as a group, and pickup in Winchester Virginia. Missing some parts, study pictures please. All the chainless are seat suspension. I have two covers...

I'm late catching up on this thread, but impressed. I didn't think you'd find the engine, happy that you did. As far as I'm concerned, while still quite a project, it's all downhill having the engine in hand. Everything else is just fabricated steel...congrats! It's funny to me that 25 years...

Here ya go

Found an original catalog with cross section drawing and instructions on disassembly!

A friend is working on a Crawford, circa 1900, pre-left side sprocket. He’s asking on advice on how to take apart, see picture. Any comments welcome…

Well, now that we’re married you can get rid of all those old bikes, she said. Wow you’re starting to sound like my ex-wife, he said. Oh, I didn’t know you were married before! I wasn’t, he said…..

It’s interesting that Buffalo was a hub of bicycle manufactoring at the turn of the century. Very nice bicycle...

Verynice. Only bike I collect, Buffalo Pierce, and like that head badge is riveted and not screwed on. Love the bike but new tires almost distract from originality! You could store that bike at my place any time, though! Nice! David Coco Winchester Va

That's great that it's digitized and available. I'm old school, really enjoy the book in my hand, and seeing the pictures. As mentioned, this might be a common reference writing for those in the know, I was taken aback when I first got the hard copy and read the early cycling exploits, and...

This book may be common knowledge, I don't know, as I am more of a car guy than a bicycle guy. I bought a copy of "Who, Me" by Chris Sinsabaugh, sub titled "40 years of automobile history". The interesting thing is that this book was published in 1940, and Mr. Sinsabaugh was born in 1872. He...

Now that I look at pictures, there appears to be a date in one of the pictures? 1930? That seems late for the style of bike but I don't know bikes very well, just have a weakness for Pierce related items. thanks David C.

All early Pierce bikes were just that, Pierce bikes. The headbadge and any graphics showed the name Pierce with an arrow through it, but not the word "arrow". Even the first 1901-1903 Pierce automobiles were just Pierce. It wasn't until 1904 that the automobile division came out with the...

I can't read the side of the badge, is this Angola or Buffalo production? thanks David C.

Well, doesn't seem to be much interest in this, oh well. I'll tell the back story of why it's for sale. I found this lamp by asking a vendor if he had any Pierce lights, he did, and I bought it long ago. About a year ago, a really nice plated one sold on Ebay for around $1700. About a month...

I meant to say spring for mounting is mostly missing....

This is a Matchless bicycle light, George N. Pierce, patent dates at turn of century. Hard to find accessory for Pierce bicycles, I've been collecting Pierce memorabilia for decades and only seen four of them. May have been nickel plated and striped down to brass, or maybe they offered them in...

Car not for sale. Yep, have side curtains, during cold weather you’d be surprised how much heat comes through firewall. Still a mostly fair weather car though...

Yes, a bicycle is a Pierce, the car is a Pierce-Arrow, such as the attached. Happy to say the one shown is mine, I've owned it over 35 years, and was friends with it for 20 years before that! I'm always interested in purchasing Pierce and Pierce-Arrow memorabilia, including bikes and other...

I'm not into the later bikes, but thought this was a nice one. It's not for sale, belongs to a friend who has a building full of cars, toys, petroliana, just tons of stuff...

Has anyone ever seen an oil can like this? Thinking it's a souvenir of the 1901 Pan American Exposition. It's very small, only a couple inches tall. This is not mine, but if anyone has one for sale I'm a buyer! David Coco Winchester Va.

Yes, I'd think the mold is necessary...as I've told you I work leather too, it takes some skill and you have it with that thicker leather for sure...thanks David C.

Very nice leather work...I would guess that the makers of the time had molds that they put the leather in to form....

Leather Unlimited 7155 County Road B, PO Box 342 Belgium, WI 53004 These guys have leather of different thicknesses for craft projects and such, should be able to help with the thicker leather needed for a seat.

That helps, the bike wasn't dreadfully expensive, but it wasn't free either...it'll be an interesting addition to the collection....thanks for reply...David Coco Winchester Va.

Is being a New Departure bell a good thing? I've learned some about the Pierce bicycles, but really not conversant with some of the finer points of bike collecting. I actually made a deal on this bike end of last year, but with the strange times we live in, fellow wasn't able to get it to me...

My friend ended up buying a nice Pierce bike, thanks...David Coco Winchester Va

Thanks, so 1908 earliest and then "earlier than 1917". Now I have to agonize for two months over seeing if it has a serial number to help in dating it! Supposed to get it October 10th, the big Hershey car flea market has been cancelled, but they still plan on having a car show that date. The...

Thanks, that's great information. I agree, the image in color is great. Someone who's good with colorization on a computer could fix it for you. So, hopefully it will have a serial number that will help with year, but will start with 1906 and go up, thanks so much David Coco Winchester Va.

I’d like to see that black and white image. It is a cool decal, shame it’s scraped but at least it’s there. Earlier than 17, but later than what, 1908 or so, when company named changed to Pierce Cycle Company as on badge? Have made a deal on it, won’t be delivered until first of October, he’s...

I'm really just into Pierce Buffalo bicycles, but seeing a nice "other make" one like your bike makes me see how easy it would be to get involved with wanting ALL early makes...very nice bike...

I'm looking for a Buffalo badged bicycle, men's, either restored or unrestored. Must be able to ride it now, or with minimal work to get it on the road. This is not for me, this is for a friend looking for one. She want's to give it to her husband for his birthday, which is a few months down...

The Pierce Cycle Company was sold to Emblem in 1918, and production moved to Angola. Technically, the Pierce Cycle Company was a separate entity from the Pierce Arrow Motor Car Company from about 1908 to 1918. It was run by Percy Pierce, nephew of George N. Pierce. George had founded the...

Thanks for reply, I don't have a serial number. I don't know the year of the bike, my conjecture was later but it might be much earlier? Let me know what years you've seen that chain guard on, please. Here are more pictures. Thanks for any help, I'm not as knowledgeable as I'd like to be on...
