Davis #5 sprocket; a catalog page from @Goldenindian.

May take a "Rex" badge or some other.
Davis lasted until 1923; did others use their designs afterward.
Not sure if fork is a Davis, maybe a Shelby?
Seat stays looked pinched together; headset cups look almost near flush.

Almost has an Emblem look to it with the fish-mouth lower truss bar connections to the down tube and seat tube. Different than AS's catalog pics. Also a hint may be the contoured/brazed smoothish double bar connector of the truss to top tube. Better pics of the rear axle fork, lower truss bar connections and fender bridges? Serial #? Good mystery bike.

I have no information on it, other than my fondness for the frame. It reminds me of an Iver truss frame, one that is on my bucket list too. Personally $200 to $250 is what I might pay for something like that. Less is always better. It will take some time and lots of elbow grease to clean up.
Have fun, Shawn M.

I'm kinda leaning Emblem too but this is out of my wheelhouse. I'm seeing better than a few hundy in parts. V/r Shawn
