Parts in the Attic

I was recently invited into the attic of a local mansion to view "an old ladies bike and some bicycle parts." I posted the ladies bike in the Iver Johnson thread a few days ago, and here are the "parts in the attic" -

Turs out the parts fit together quite nicely to form an 1889 Columbia Light Roadster Hard Tire Safety - even the tires appear to be original.

Wow, nice. Is this a hobby or do you "make a living" in old stuff/bikes? You always seem to find gems.

No, not you Brian! I know for you it is just an obsession!!

Well, I'd also starve if I tried to make a living at this - it's just a retirement hobby. Brian, the badge is 2 inches tall and about an inch and a half wide.
