Any idea of year?

Now that I look at it looks like the chain is earlier. The fitment is off on it you can see a gap between the chain ring and the chain.. not a big problem but it will wear out quicker if you ride it.

Tires and a Solar light and I'm done.

Solar lamp will work.
You already have the handlebar lamp bracket.
Just make sure the lamp you get has the washer & wing-nut.

Or if you're not particular, you can find new wing-nuts in hardware stores.

Solar lamps are available in different conditions:
Mine is very clean, but so is the bike I'm attaching it to.

Unless you're planning on a restoration, get a lamp that matches the bike.

Btw:
I don't know what brand or year your bike is.
But it reminds me of the 1900s "Roadster" bikes with the bicycle tire pump in the
saddle down-tube.
A clean-up & lube-job is all I would do on that jewel.

Great find!

I purchased this bike. I just completed the member signup. So, I thought I would post a few new pictures. I added tires, reconditioned the wood rims, added the Solar light and continued the clean up. Just need a head badge now - anyone know where I might locate an Emblem head badge?. After following numerous threads, I believe this bike is a Emblem - possibly early teens. I base that on the sprocket, rear hub (Corbin Model 8 brake), the fender style, the serial number style and the vertical head badge holes plus a few other visual clues. And if you think this might be a different model, please let me know. Thanks.
