Allwood Early Wood Frame Bike with Brass Compression Fittings, Hickory?

[47jchiggins]

I am looking for information on this early wood frame bike, the seat is Indian but I can't find any other identifiable markings.
Thanks
Todd

Hickory?

I'm not sure. It looks like Hickory, tight grain and dense. All the other Hickory/wood frame bikes that I have seen, use a different method to attach the wood, the brass compression fittings are something I have not seen before. From the top of the seat post to the center of the crank, it measures nearly 24.5".

Nice .bike... if you break one you can replace it. Nifty I'd say oak is more like it....

Those bronze compaction couplings are the finest joints I've ever seen on a wood frame

Here are a few more pictures. The splines on the handlebars are different than any others I've seen. The chainring and crank arms look the same as the early Hickories.
