I picked this up for no particular reason other than it was cool and (probably) headed to the scrapyard if I didn't take it. I am not a collector, and it's sat around since then. I just want to find it a new home.
I was told it's a prewar bike which seems likely, and 40s vintage is a reasonable guess. Feel free to offer corrections or specifics- you won't hurt my feelings, and I'm not trying to bamboozle anyone. From what I can tell, it's original with the exception of tires (natch), handlebar grips, and a reflector which was added to the rear fender. Chainguard was repainted at some point; it's good color match, but lacks the patina. Everything works, bike is in rideable condition, but of course, could use a good overhaul.
I'd prefer a local sale in the Seattle area, but would be willing to box and ship for a fee. More pics could be supplied if needed. Asking $100.
