Just thought I'd add, no provision for fenders so must be early or racer type? Very tall frame.

Thanks very much for that. I was thinking along those lines. It seems an unusually tall frame owing to the fact that people in general were shorter a hundred years ago I'm surprised at the height of it. I'm 6' 1 1/2" and it's a stretch for me. Just an observation.

The chainring being of Davis Yale pattern of 1/2" pitch type seemed popular around 1910-15 era.

Davis took over Yale of Toledo 1915 era. But not sure if chainring was used by Davis before that.????
