I'm off to a good start!
This was a purchase incited by my herniated disc and pinched sciatic leaving me immobile...lots o' ebay time but it paid off!
The photos included at this stage are those by the seller. He and the CrankWorks LBS in Florida were both very helpful getting this heavy old thing to VA.
so far! I've managed to remove the seatpost-set adjustable (perhaps Kelly) bars and assembly. I removed the special slotted seatpost and cleaned it, I may attempt to remove a busted wheel and salvage a hub but I may be tapped out, don't want to push myself.
So....I'm also including some pretty amazing information I have gathered super coincidentally on the man William M. Kinsman who build this machine.
I looked up and happened to find a photo of him for sale, with his name and Hartford, Conn marked on the back. This is the same marking on the badge. By surveying ancestry.com the seller of the photo helped me dig and found a Registration card where Wm Kinsman identified himself as a tool maker. This may be the only bicycle he ever built, there may be more floating around? Anybody seen a badge or complete bike?
