Cruisin' on my Bluebird
I bought this bike from another CABE member and would like to ask, learn some information please.

What year? Info missing from headbadge that normally identifies the year. Big thanks Catfish!
From center of crank to top of seat tube is 25".
Serial number on bottom hanger is B 4896
I see a makers mark on the front rim. Rims are 1-1/2" wide, edge to edge and very well made. See photo.
Rear hub is Morrow.
Diamond block chain with diamonds stamped out of each link.

Trying to determine year and model.
Looks to be a bit different frame design compared to other G&J bikes I see posted on the CABE.
No card in seat tube and no numbers stamped about that area either.
Serial number on bottom hanger is B 4896

This is a 1904ish Pope/ABC Rambler. Not sure of the model. 1900 and prior, when Ramblers were mfg by GJ, they stamped the model into the frame on the seat tube on the right side at the top near the seat post binder. I dont know how long the practice continued, particularly in the ABC years but have a close look.
