"The Field" Model 14

[Roger K]

Has anyone seen one of these or maybe period ads? It's "The Field" Model 14 from Marshall Field & Co, Chicago, and I suppose it's from the years around 1900, but about what year? Was the steel rims and the coaster hub standard, so it's from this side of 1900, or could those parts have been changed later? Is the "Paris" saddle period?
(Not mine, but I'm considering buying it)

High frame as well as those unique fenders!

Nice original bike and Those fenders are Unique . Are they single tub tires or Wire beaded like I think they might be. Spokes are 32 on the front so I would say original front hub at least. If it would have 36 i would say it is not original. At least that is my take on it.

I think the high frame, block chain, and one-piece bar & stem point to the 1890s. The hub brake and even the fenders could have been added after 1900. Nice bike! If you like it, buy it I say

Sweet saddle, and rear mounting peg. Buy it!
