I just picked this beauty up today and does not have a badge and was hoping someone can help me identiwhat make this bike is and fair market value it may have. As always thank you

pinch bolts on the bottom bracket, really early, pre 1900 I would guess.

Cheers

Would you happen to know manufacturing company ?

My guess is Crescent based on the pedal and Chainless hub style

Best guess (probably wrong) Columbia/Pope. Somebody will be able to give a positive i.d. be patient.
So many early makers with subtle differences. Need a better expert than I.

Cheers

Fairly certain its Crescent, sent you a PM @Junkman Bob

Here is one my buddy Adam ended up selling on ebay fairly recently :

I agree with Jesse McCauley that it is a Crescent. I had a woman's Crescent shaft drive and comparing my photos of that bike to this one the frame and drive system style matches the Crescent I had exactly.

Thanks again
