That looks like a nice survivor with some $$$ parts, I'd say if you could snag it for $900 or less you'd be way ahead.

What a great example.......It's basically catalog from head to toe. Looks like the optional black finish. I hope you get this one, I would love to see bottom bracket serial numbers. The Davis thread has some great research. I think that four sided dropstand was a short lived Davis part. 1917????

Complete original.

The purchase price of this matched-pair of VITALIC TIRES was just plain stupid at the time. Bought 'em anyway. Many a CABEr could have purchased a fine bicycle (to their liking) for the price of this particular pair. Cleaned-up well with Barkeeper's Friend and a hog bristle scrub brush ... rinsed the hell outta them then neutralized all with a big box o' baking soda.

Your find is a diamond in the (not so) rough ! Make sure it has a badge.

Wind in yer sails, mate ......

Just edited this to add a VITALIC TIRE ad ...
