Well it has been a crazy week replying to PMs and also researching all about this bike. I have found that the stem and bars were not made of aluminum. They used a Torrington stem and Cross brace bars (as per the sales add) I also found out that not all seats were red when these were made. I located a genuine stem and bars. I am going to use some reproduction grips for now until I can find some originals. Everybody wants to know the value of this bike. I honestly have no clue what she is worth. What can we compare this beautiful bike to? It' not spacy like twin bar and it's not graceful like a Blue Bird. But it is extremely rare and in original un-restored condition, that says a lot about a pre-war aluminum bike. I bought a steel Elgin moto-bike yesterday and all the parts to make a Elgin Gull I can ride. I am getting the frame plated in aluminum. I will post progress pics soon.
