While we wait on the final verdict, has anyone seen this type of Racycle bottom bracket?

I may have asked before, but Miami used a few different methods here and I'd like some

opinions on the year of this six screw BB. I've never seen another one. One year only?

It is very similar if not identical to the one on my bike. My bike is equipped just like the pacemaker in the 1918 ad above. It is hard to tell in your picture, does your crank have a threaded hole in the center. That is where the dust cap screws in that I am looking for.

for it.

Your saddle is a stamped Racycle "Maximus" by Pearson, found on the Racycles.

Age?

I noticed that this one was most likely cadium or chrome plated when new as there is still some left on it.
Any idea of age?
I am sorry for posting this on the Flying Merkel thread, but I thought this may have been a seat from a Merkel. Thanks for the help.

The Maltese cross is not Merkel, instead its proprietary to the Racycle. However both brands used either a Person or Troxel saddles.
