1905 Gazelle - assistance please

[DTW]

Gazelle USA said the serial number dates this bike to 1905. We found it at an estate sale from a family w/Chinese decent. Can you point me in the direction of someone who can help us appraise and sell this bike?
Thanks is advance!

Who is brave enough to help this gentleman?

Looks like a 1950’s copy of a Raleigh

1960’s, possibly early 70’s. Speak with original owners or their offspring.

Hi Welcome to the CABE!
Maybe as early as 1950's no where near 1905 sorry.

I can’t imagine this bike being 1905. I agree with others that date it much later maybe 1950’s -1970’s.

To answer your second question, it doesn't have much value. Maybe a $100 or so. Try selling it on Craigslist.

certainly not 1905, and of course postwar production.
The people who can answer the details may not find it on this page.
