Serial number would be nice...... What does the badge say? What is the make of the hubs? What is stamped in the chain?

Filmonger is right on the money....get a better picture of the headbadge, what diameter is the top tube (running from the handlebars back towards the seat), get a decent picture of the bottom of the crank hanger, I'm 98% sure it's not 1895.....

The Miami Cycle & Mfg. Co. wasn't founded until July, 1895, so it is unlikely this bike dates to 1895. My guess would be 1897-1905 era. Also, while not being dogmatic about it, being a pacing bike, the saddle is possibly an add on. Originally it might have had a racing type saddle.
As a side note, when the Miami Cycle Co. was organized, Frank Ray was hired as the company manager who lent his name to the new bicycle brand - Racycle.

This was not a pacing bike. I believe what the OP meant to say it is a Pacemaker. I believe that saddle is correct. V/r Shawn
