Thanks everyone !!!

Terrific find and beautiful example of a 1930s Skippy! The only two parts that may have been replaced are the pedals and hub caps if a 1937 model. That year the Skippy appears to have come with streamlined teardrop pedals with nickel plated end caps and rear hub caps having a rib design going across them in the middle. The seat design is definite original! If your skippy varies by a year or so it could mean a difference in hub cap and pedal design, so it's entirely possible they are original also. Again, very nice acquisition!

Thanks Dave for the added info. Always much appreciated! I just kind of guessed on a year from the little info I had found online, so like you said it could vary from a year or so.

No great find story on this one, just saw it listed in an auction about an hour and a half away and was lucky enough to get it on my max bid. I've lost on a few great items at cash only auctions before. No plans to sell at this time but if that would change I will let you know.
