1919 Harley Davidson Bicycle Recently Acquired

I live for the CABE
I got home late last night with this 1919 Harley Davidson bicycle. I did not want to say anything until it was actually in my possession. There was alot of curiousity as to who the new owner was. In studying this bicycle, it is about as close to NOS as you can get. It does not show any evidence of ever being ridden. If it had it was very minimal. There is no wear on the pedals, no dirt on the inside of the fenders or front mud flap. It looks as it the seat has never been adjusted and is in amazing shape for being 98 years old. The original paint is very nice as well as all the striping. This bike is in its original state from when it was assembled almost 100 years ago. I will have to give it a detail job which would be alot easier if the bike were to be taken apart. I do not want to disturb the originality of this bike so I plan on doing the detail work with it fully assembled. As far a it can be tracked I am the 3rd known owner. I am proud to be the next caretaker of this fine example of a HD bicycle. Here are some pictures of it in my living room. After I get it detailed I will post more pictures. The wife says the living room is getting pretty full, soon we will have to put the recliners in the dining room and install a mirror at a 45 degree angle to watch tv around the corner. I am posting this for all to enjoy if anyone has questions or need specific info that I can provide for your restoration accuracy please let me know. I would be glad to help a brother (or sister) out.
Best Regards
Frank

Wow, incredible!! If you have a chance I am curious what that nub on the front fender behind the fork crown looks like on the bottom side..... I have a set of fenders that appeared to have a extra hole and don't want to patch it in if it needs to be there.
