I live for the CABE
This is a 1907ish Iver Johnson Model 88, 24" Men's "Truss Bridge Flyer" in Iver Johnson black with red spearpoint head.
The paint on this bike is preserved beautifully, although most of the nickel is covered with a thin coat of surface rust. I believe this
bike is 100% original in every way as it spent most all of its life in the attic of the family home of John A. Barger on Railroad Street in
Webster, PA. John A. Barger owned and operated a General Store in this small town. This home was passed on to the family through
the generations and the bike remained untouched, out of sight, and out of mind for almost 100 years. I acquired this bike after
receiving a call from a Woman who purchased the family's entire estate. The woman had reached out in hopes of finding a little
information about the Iver Johnson Cycles, and an approximate value. According to the heirs of the estate, Mr Barger thought, at one
point in time, about becoming a dealer in the Iver Johnson Cycles, and the estate contained a document (see below) attesting to this
fact. See More Pics At: http://boulderartgallery.com/Iver_Johnson_Bicycle_Collection/IverJohnson_Page_32.html
