Help with Pierce chainless shaft drive restoration questions

[filmonger]

Do We have the serial number for your bike on the Pierce list Volksboy 57 - If not... can we kindly have it along the location of the serial number. Thank you.

Here is a picture of the Pierce Booth in 1914 - this should give you an idea of the style and presentation....though I know this is much later than your bicycle it does give you and idea of how Pierce intended the bikes to be presented.

Also If you are not too worried about it being absolute period correct - here is a pic of a 1900ishish suspension model with an eagle climax seat...cannot remember where I found this or who's bike this is ... but maybe it might help.

Here is a page out of the bicycling world 1903 - this is more around the time of your bicycle - again may be of assistance

I also noticed my front wheel hub is a new departure model M

Which didn't come out until much later.

Also the mount that holds the rear shock has 1 and 6 stamped into each bracket underneath

And my hub has the oiler so its circa 1918
