1910 Buffalo Queen Special, whats it worth?

[genesmachines]

I recently purchased this bike and can't find anything about it other than on one decal it has the name Hechenenger that was a deptment store in Buffalo, NY. I was told by previous owner it is supposed to be a 1910 model. Can anyone give me any info on it? It has wooden rims and fender

Buffalo Queen Special was sold 1897 through 1902 by The Wm. Hengerer Company, a department store in Buffalo NY. Your frame design looks typical for 1897-1899.

Wow!! that didn't take long. Thanks much B S. I would assume the market for BQs is mostly local, that must have been one heck of a company. This one traveled 100 miles east to Seneca Falls. I knew I could count on the Cabers
