Rambler, help needed please

The hub came with it, can anyone help identify it please.
The hub looks like an early Pope coaster hub, ca. 1903 or so

@Andrew Gorman, I posted a separate thread re. this mystery hub.
@Barnegatbicycles nailed it, identifying it as a 1903 ABC 2-speed coaster. It's going to require a little work to make it useable.
My friend has built up a nice rideable wheelset, using an early Eadie coaster hub and period English front hub with some very old English Westwood rims in 28" size.
He's had them shot-blasted and repainted black.
Here's the latest photo I have from a week ago.....

I think it's looking pretty good.

Can anyone help re. a suitable chain for this machine, would a roller chain be suitable for a 1901 Rambler?
Anyone got a spare chain for sale? PM me please.

Can't wait to see it rolling.

Anyone know the difference in the 41 and 43 Rambler models?

41 is the lightweight model and has the cut out lug. 43 no cut out.
