Sorry, same location but wasn't stored in the barn. Not alot left but still a good piece. I've been after this one more than 15 years. Got a call saying it was time to sell.View attachment 163205

are these pegs original??

 

[Iverider]

Bike is a fixed gear, and the peg is to aid in mounting. Put a foot on the peg and push the bike along then throw a leg over and go. Kind of a holdover from the Highwheel step peg.

Cool Napoleon

Didn't think I'd get into TOC bikes...at least not this soon into the hobby.
Picked up this early Napoleon from a fellow Cabe'r locally last week. Was sold to me as a 1902 Napoleon, but have since been advised it might be a bit older. Nice and roomy 24" frame. Can't wait to lace up some wheels and stretch out my legs for once!

Very cool early Napoleon.
I am not an expert, so take with the appropriate grain of sodium chloride. The mid to late 1890's Napoleon's I have seen have either a very small chain ring (typical of that period) or a chain ring with four "teardrops" and a more simple badge, but are otherwise similar to yours in terms of frame design. They had the wishbone seat stays from early 1900s up until about 1908 or so with your style chain ring and badge.

1907 Sears Catalog

My Napoleon is later. Other than a mechanical going through and Harper tire repops to make it a rider, it is exactly as I found it.

Thanks so much! The one in the ad looks just like it!
