What Model Iver Johnson??

[Coaster]

Hey All.
I found this bike in an old basement. Owner says it's been sitting there since he bought the place in 1960. I looked through many Iver Johnson catalogs, but couldn't find this exact model. Can anyone tell me what model it is and it's estimated value?

Wow! That's a fantastic Iver. I'm thinking 1910 ish Diamond frame Special Roadster with some extra sundries.... Rack/fenders/tool bag.

Looks like you're only 15 mins from Fitchburg where the bike was made. How cool is that?! I know there's lots of info right down the road from you. Congrats on a killer bike

Really? That's awesome! Thanks! My son gets the credit for discovering it. I'm trying to help him out.
We're only 8 miles from Fitchburg.

Probably a model 87 Special Roadster. Nicely preserved.

Perhaps. But different seat, color scheme and lacking a bunch of add-ons. Is there a serial number look-up database out there?

Ok. I take it that you're rather knowledgeable about theses bikes. Are you able to give me a manufacturing date and potential value to a collector?

Maybe a 1909 given the paint scheme.

Looks like it was originally painted maroon and black. When were these markings used?
And are these rims wood or metal?
