Wheels are not the correct era by about 40 or 50 years but its easy enough to build up a era correct ridable wheel set. I think the Mattatuck hub is what replaced New departure but I'm not 100% sure.
 
I see the original Indian red underneath the red house paint. Might be worth a shot to try and remove it. I'm sure Todd will weigh in but based on the font and arrangement of the numbers I'm still sticking by about 1918ish. V/r Shawn
