Help with A TOC juvenile project

[Archie Sturmer]

A member was looking for a sprocket with the "4 polygon shapes" and "24 holes" (but called it a Crescent?).

Wanted: late 1890s early 1900s Crescent Sprocket and pedal cranks | Antique Bicycles Pre-1933

I'm looking for a sprocket and pedal cranks for a Crescent bicycle, the sprocket has 4 polygon shapes in the middle and going along the whole outer edge there are at least 24 holes about 3/8 in diameter, dimensions can be slightly different, as well as the hole #'s.

(...same number of holes...)

Far more apealling if you just clean it, as Brant said. They are original only once.

I'm with you on this one.....I thought it had been repainted, but on closer inspection might be original.
I'll just fix it up a bit.

Gave this thing a little love, found some cool patent dates on the mounting peg and the crank.
Hoops may come around.....hubs cleaned up nice.
Found a badge laying around, not right, but that never stopped me before, kinda looking good.

Awwww....a little more love
Stitched up a new seat for the little guy.

[C M Gerlach]

I can't find a serial. Or maker for that matter.
Still working on the wheels. Haven't decided on tires yet.
