Hello Boardhoarder.
Thanks for your comments. It is rare to find cycles in original kit and cosmetics. This bike was sold to me by a fellow whose 92 year old father had given it to him. His dad was given the bike long ago by a buddy and fellow cyclist. This must have been in the 30's when most folks were on balloon tire bikes.
I bought it when a friend and fellow collector pointed it my way. I own a couple of Stearns, a chainless and a women's cycle with a very colorful history. My friend is a true gentlemen, great guy, and one of the reasons why the bicycle hobby is such a great hobby.
