I live for the CABE
Did some digging. More questions than answers. The frame and fork seem early. Did Shelby really get stuff from Davis from 1916-1917? I have this Dayton ad from 1917. The frame seems to have this geometry, but the picture shows the early Dayton "only" fork.(with the curved truss rods). Davis got the Yale name from Consolidated in 1916ish? I think? So...I can see why Yale is the ID since Dayton and Yale shared frame and not forks. Badge holes throws me for Yale.....
