From what I've read the overman wheel co. Who made Victor bicycles went under in 1901. Iver Johnson patented the arch truss frame design in 1900 (or filed it anyway) I would think this frame would have had to become before the patent or after it expired round about 1917. Was Victor being produced by another company at that time?
Someone must have bought the name, tooling, badges, etc if they went under in 1901. I just bought this brochure, but it hasn't arrived yet. The photos in it remind me of late teens-early 20s bikes. Here's the covers.
Yes, I saw that too and that isn't a TOC bike, more of a contemporary of mine, like teens-20s, don't you think? I
'll keep digging, I'm sure there's a nugget of info out there. Maybe there'll be a clue in the brochure.

I don't have the brochure yet and no additional info from the photos. The ad just said "early 1900s".
I'll keep looking around. I'm confident something will turn up. It seems like every maker turned out an Iver inspired truss frame in 1917-1918 and then dropped the style shortly afterwords.
