I appreciate everyone's interest and the comments. Thanks! I will take a number of additional pictures on Sunday and post them. It doesn't have grips - pretty much what you see. I'm located in New Jersey not far from Montclair. I agree with comment about it having been a relative's bike, but I don't know exactly who rode it. This was in the attic of their house in Jersey City that a relative inherited after the last of that generation passed away. Unfortunately no one in my branch of the family heard about the cleanout until he had been at it for a month. Too bad!! It was still chock full of cool stuff that we actually bought from him like a private garage sale. He spoke about the enormous piles of boxes of 'junk' that he and a local kid had put out in the trash already. OUCH - magazines, postcards, you name it. Probably the back wheel and chain for this bike as well. Oh well.
Being a collector of many things, stories like that kill me, but it was even worse since it was a relative. Unfortunately it happens all the time.
In any case, I will no doubt put this on ebay, but I will post additional photos here and let people know.
Sorry for the long post.
John
