Wore out three sets of tires already!
@John G04 Just maybe you've been hit by the curse that follows smokers... This may have been idle for years, indoors, @ a house/garage that had a cigarette/cigar/pipe smoker hanging out. Alfred E. Newman would say: "I know; I are one". I've found that Irish Spring bath soap gets the tar off my fingers that other bar soaps, dish wash soaps, and laundry soaps, won't touch. Still takes some scrubbing. Perhaps the 'barn' mentioned had a cast iron stove that burnt coal or even creosote blocks of wood. It may even be that this bike belonged to a young man who later in the 1940s went off to war (therefore the appearance of low mileage); and, did not come home... then again he may have come home but had enough money to buy a car and the bike was left behind.....
