Turn of the century content: Wright Van Cleve copycat w/ferrier fork? (PICTURES)

[Mark Dulabaum]

Catfish you are correct - it is indeed a Fenton made in Jamestown N. Y. Between 1894 - 1898 by the Fenton Metallic Manufacturing Company. I recently purchased this bicycle and am looking for a head badge and any further information or parts anyone may have or may know who I could contact.
Thank you

Looks to have a Columbia ball end spoke front hub.

I looked at my pope same fork as yours. The outline on the bike suggests to me this is a Columbia built bike. In my opinion by the ballend spokes seems to be around 1899 to 1902-3 in date. A roadster bike.
