I Found This!!!
Outside of Pedals Say: "American Bicycle Company, Syracuse Factory"
Inside of Pedal: I can see STEARNS, Roughly!
Outside of Crank Lock Ring: Say, "Patted Nov 13, 1888"
Then, from The Wheelman:
Stearns Manufacturer 1893 1899 E. C. Stearns & Company Syracuse NY na USA
Stearns Manufacturer 1900 1900 American Bicycle Company Chicago IL na USA
Stearns Manufacturer 1901 1901 American Bicycle Company Chicago IL na USA

Anyone Interested???

Sure looks like a Stearns to me. Minus the wheels, seat, handlebar, pedals, and front brake.

The Rings are Patd From 1888!!!!
The Bike Should be from the 1890s???

Your bike is likely somewhere between 1895-1900 to the best of my estimation.

Hard to say, only worth what someone is willing to pay. Probably best bet is put it on ebay and see what happens. My guess is the part that is actually Stearns is maybe in the $300-$500 range assuming the drive system works as it should. The other parts that are not Stearns such as the front brake maybe $50-$75 depending on condition. Seat,handlebars and pedals of negligible value.

Maybe check some past Copake auctions for an idea of value.
