I had thought the lug type construction would help date it. Do you think, with it possibly being that early, the 26" are correct or do you think 28" would have been on it originally?

Haha, I almost bought ballooners for it, now I need to find out what goes in there. Plenty of room for balloons, about 2 3/4" of space.
maybe it used 26" single-tube wheels?
I believe 26" single tubes were used on small frame childs bikes. This is a full size frame. I believe the wheels are original to the bike. I have to go with the balloons!
Wow. Nice. Thanks for the link!

Interesting to me since maybe the mid-90's
is the reality that the Colson high-grade ma-
chines had chrome-nickel, clad, wood rims.
Didn't know what rims were used before then.
Years before that .. in the 80's .. I acquired a
minty Silver Ring badge and was quite sure
Silver Ring machine came equipped with
chrome, clad, wood rims ...
Learned these machines came with painted,
steel rims.
In my mind, the Silver Ring was a reference
to chrome rims. Boy, was I wrong.
An old friend, the late Harry Ward, gave me that
information over the fone. He originally called,
wanting that Silver Ring badge in the worst way.
I had the badge for maybe three days.
Told him he could have it -- ''just drive over, and
pick it up.''
He did.
Upon his exit, I sparked a decent 45-cent cigar,
taking a seat in my dark-red, leather, easy-chair.
Thirty-some minutes had passed since Harry left.
Then - a knock on the front door ...
