Iver Johnson Women's 1897/98

[oldspoke]

Greetings

Enclosed are photos of a late 90's I.J. woman's cycle. Note the cool O'hara Watch Face Co. of Waltham Mass.
badge. Serial number 61004 .

I am looking for any info on this cycle . I'll check with a Wheelmen member as well.

I am also looking for a smaller chain ring for this cycle. A 20 - 22 tooth. This is a 24 tooth and won't work with the chain guard fender combo I have found for the bike {they were missing} .

I may pass this project on as well - I haven't decided.

Many thanks

Glenn

Thanks Friends for the compliments etc.

Sorry for the duplicate pics :>{ I tried to edit these out.

I would assume that this I.J. dates to a time when J.P. Lovell was out and the Johnsons took over.

Hey Glenn,
Yes, that transition took place about 1896 so this lady was a couple years into it - nice find.
Cheers,
