Just found - Arrow by F. A. Baker New York Racing Model?

[Freqman1]

Thank you all for the input and extra effort. I do appreciate it.

Back to the approximate year of manufacture - any ideas on what what decade? Serial # on bottom bracket is 447652.

I would like to upgrade and or replace the pedals, chain, grips and saddle with the correct era parts.

See pedals and bottom bracket hardware. Cranks are unmarked, stiletto design. The left pedal is missing the outside end dust cap/plate. No makers marks that I can see on the pedals. They are WELL worn and appear to be original.

Assuming the Model C is original to the bike the decade would most likely be the 1920's. Although the C was made until '33 this bike looks earlier and I would place it in the first part of that decade. V/r Shawn

Did some soaking and light cleaning. Replaced the saddle, wood wheels and tires. Added some old grips I had in a drawer.

Thanks again to NM Brant!

I put it back closer to as found condition, added a chain and Persons saddle. Now it is posted up for sale.
