1918 Elgin, to trade or sell!

[Faron]

I am new on this site so please bare with me. I have had problems loading pix to show. But I came across an original Elgin bike in an older gentleman's garage while doing some trading with him. I feel it is rare item for sure! He claims it is a 1918. Has the tool box tank, carbide light on the forks, wooden wheels. luggage rack, drop stand, original seat, but missing the chain guard. I would greatly appreciate anyone's input on this beautiful bike and what it's value may be. If anyone would be seriously interested in this bike I have pix of it I can email to anyone that provides their address. Thanks so much for your time!

Hello to all and thanks sooo much for your interest. I am telling up front that I am very new to this, that means bikes and computors, etc. I am actually a sign collector among other areas of collecting. I only got interested in bikes lately as I am gearing up for retirement and wanted a nice set of vintage rides. That is where I stumbled on 2 beautiful boys/girls Roadmaster Luxury Liner's and the Elgin. I am keeping the Liner's, and can get the Elgin. I just don't know what it is worth and if it warrrants my time and energy to get and ship out if necessary. I feel that it is a rare find and is a bike that could be restored to museum quality by the right person. I have had a tough time sending pix on this site and am open to help on doing that. For now I am sending them in emails to anyone that provides a link to their private email address like "Robertriley" did above. Thanks and I really am enjoying this site. Faron!
