Unfortunately there is not an Iver Johnson serial number chart available. Your bike looks like it started its life out as a Drop Bar Roadster. I am not sure which years these were made. Could be the 20s - 30s. You can do some research on ebay to see IJ advertisements and try to date it that way. Your bike has had alot of changes thru its poor life.

Most likely late 30's.

Do you think the fenders are original?

What is original to the frame are the forks and the cranks, everything else is probably (and unfortunately) in a landfill.
I do have some stuff to make it mo better in trade.

Add the badge and the headset cups (is the top cone upside down or is that a cone shaped spacer in the stack?) to the original list, but subtract the cranks, this bike seems to answer the question, “Will European cranksets fit the small diameter Iver Crank hangers?”
