^^^I was thinking that also. Serial number is in the right place. How many holes for the headbadge? IJs have 3 holes. Any other parts with it?
 
Thanks for the reply! There are two holes for the badge , verticle at 3 3/4'" cc. All the others parts are of a later period, the only other piece I think maybe original to the frame is the Chainwheel.

boy, if that dosent look like a schwinn chain ring. should have 3 holes for iver. possibly ccm?
 
i know Colson's used a sweetheart sprocket, too, but i don't think the bike is a Colson. nice block chain, though...
 
Schwinndoggy I thought the Ivers # run from the top down, these are from the bottom up?

Redline168 The Schwinn Sweetheat has the crank set hole between the hearts, this one is in the heart like a Hawthorn or DP Harris

fat tire trader The BB is 3" cc inside 3 1/8 outsde, the width is 2 5/8.

Found some cool stuff on the patents: the May 29 1900 seems to be for a self fixing seat post http://www.google.com/patents?id=RV...=gbs_selected_pages&cad=1#v=onepage&q&f=false

The Dec. 3 1885 is for an extruded BB which this frame has; http://www.google.com/patents?id=7T...=gbs_selected_pages&cad=1#v=onepage&q&f=false



Thanks for the interest in my project. This has got me truly stumped
 
^^^ That was my orignal thought, but the patents are held by individuals, so I have to see if I can find the purchaser of the patent. Or I'm hoping that something like the unique seat post( may 29 Patent) will be a clue. So far, no luck.
