Riding a '37 Dayton Super Streamline
Another bike out of the Harmon auction. I can't find a serial and the Stearns badge did not originate on this bike. It has pins on the top and bottom head tube lugs to hold the badge? It has mix-matched pedals and I'm told the seat is later --ca. 1905 or so. The frame seems to be very light compared to most bikes like this I've had. Any help on identification is most welcomed. V/r Shawn

what is the relationship/difference between E.C. Stearns and Co. and Stearns Bicycle Agency?
 
I have no clue these bikes are out of my wheelhouse. I bought these to fuel my ballon tire collecting! V/r Shawn

it's odd how the headbadge is not centered in the headtube. almost looks like there are 3 badge screw holes

Nothing about that machine spoke Stearns to me-
The stem is one that was used on both Tribune and National machines, not to say it couldn't have been swapped out / added at a later date
This ad ca. 1900

Yes. I think the stem might have been added.
I don't usually expect to see that type of stem (center pull screw fastening) with a tightening collar at the top of the fork tube.
It's usually one or the other.
