looks like you have a mixture of years on it. handle bars are wrong, neck fender brace and fork at this distance looks wrong. it looks crispy with rust. i say 20's on the rest. hard to say who made it alot of companys did.
Crispy is an understatement. Storage is at a premium so it will be stripped and save whats good. Rims and fenders are shot........a little wax should bring the shine back to the rest I love the style of frame. Just didn't want to ruin anything original.
The frame could be made by Davis, which were the makers of Harley Davidson bicycles. Would have to see details of where the frame tubes meet the seat tube and the head tube, and the serial number on the bottom bracket.
I just couldn't get a clear shot of the serial #. It is ledgeble thanks to a little grease that leaked out over the years. 642882 is the serial # and right above it but upside down is what appears to be a large D stamped also....
Nice find! Some of the coolest bikes ever were of this time period and style, I think. the crank is the same as an early 1900's Peerless over on the ratbikes forum, but as other members said, a lot could have been changed, when there is so much rust it is tough to tell, and then motobikes really were pretty similar across the board... the frame looks very Elgin to me, but I really wouldn't know for sure... Good luck!
