I was very interested in this until I saw a close up of the right side of the tank, bummer!

Wow, good eye.
I noticed that the bike has already been treated with linseed oil or some kind of protectant. It has that look.

The plate is worth a few $$$

Nothing wrong with BLO it can be removed with degreaser. It also looks like there are plenty of other interested parties by the bids.

Chainring isnt right., I'd think that belongs to a Schwinn prewar. You're right about the Paisley. More often than not.
