Older Iver Johnson Dating Help Please

I was the successful bidder on this Iver from the Copake auction. Can anyone please pin down the exact year. Is the chain ring correct? Are these Iver pedals? I have never seen this exact rat trap before.

Many thanks, Brant

First I would like to thank Seth and Mike at Copake for accommodating my travel schedule. Yesterday I made the lovely trip to beautiful Columbia County, NY to retrieve my purchases. It is amazing to think such rural areas exist so close to New York City.

I am beyond happy with this Iver project from the auction! The badge alone is true LOVE ! 😍 ! Bliss my friends.

And then the small details that seem Iver specific, I am still processing them all and finally get the “true IVER disciples” on the CABE. 🙏

Help and information will be needed as I am blazing new ground with this one.

The rear hub is both amazing and perplexing. Marked New Departure with “Iver Johnson Patented.” Can someone please explain this sleek racer hub paired with the Iver/ND brake retarder mechanism? I guess it makes partial sense for 1898; has anyone seen this same combination of a racing hub with an early brake system?

Are the stem, and bars an Iver specific specific feature? I have never encountered any quite like this. All the components on this bicycle are so stellar!

Now to the bottom bracket; parts are missing! I definitely need help here! Please reach out if you have spares to let me finish this bicycle. The bicycle is missing a bearing race, dust cover, and maybe other bits from the non-drive side.

Thank you for any information and input. Kindly, Brant.
