Thanks so much for posting this wonderful find.

The forum had a thread on a Libertas adult road model not too long ago with similar transfers to this machine.

Wheel rims appear to be NISI Toro.

Possible you may discover a date mark on the backside of the bicycle's Weinmann brake caliper arms. It may be slightly too early for this type of marking, in the form of a clockface:

Suspect machine dates from early to mid 1970's.

Full name for wheel/tyre size is 350A.

Bead seat diameter is 288mm.

If you wish to fit fresh rubber so it can be ridden may take a bit of looking to locate in North America...

Thought perhaps Mel Pinto in Virgina might be a source...but alas no.

You might try American Cyclery in San Francisco.

It’s Pretty much display now but the tires are soft and do hold air.. no date but I’m thinking 1970’s

Another one! This one's even cooler.

Two sources for the 350A tyre size, should they be required.

I'll put in a plug for SJS Cycles - reliable vendor to both sides of the pond.
From them, I've purchased new T/A chainrings, both in Strada and Cyclotouriste bolt center diameters.
