1901 Steffey antique vintage old motorcycle motorbike older restoration LOOK!!

I am reluctantly selling my "1901 Steffey Motorcycle/Motorbike".   This is an older restoration done many decades ago.   I purchased this bike from a gentlemen in Mass. about 10 years ago who had this beautiful motorcycle on display in his office.   After I bought the bike from him I replaced a few of the parts that were either incorrect or missing.   Steffey Motorbikes and engines were built in Philadelphia. PA from the late 1800's until about 1910.   This Steffey is an all cast iron 200 CC. 2 cycle. 2 horsepower engine.   No broken fins. no cracks or breaks anywhere on the engine.   I DO NOT know the condition of the internals of the engine. I have not had it apart it was used as a static display only. I am sure with some effort of the new owner; this bike could be made rideable again.   It is complete with Lukenhiemer Brass Mixer (carb. ). correct Brass Bemus Timer. and the spark plug is period correct and is a genuine "A. Merger Soot Proof".   The bicycle is a "Featherstone Model F. " made by A. F. & Company. in Chicago. ILL.

Features of the bicycle include:  A front "spoon brake". cork handlebar grips. a nickeled handlebar bell and a leather saddle.    A “New York Standard” watch cyclometer.   A very ornate "Search Light" gas lamp made in Bridgeport. CT.   Beautiful matching wood rims. wood rear fender and wood chain guard.   All nickel plating was done when the bicycle was restored. it still shows well. there is no peeling. flaking or pits.   The tube mounted on the handlebar is a 6 volt battery tube. nbsp; period correct wiring was used. The coil is mounted under the seat. The rear wheel sheave is missing from this motorcycle but I will include a sheave and some leather belting that can be modified and install by the new owner.   The motorcycle shows very well. but with an older restoration it has some cosmetic flaws (i. e. paint chips).   I reserve the right to end this auction early as I have this Motorcycle listed for sale locally.   High bidder is responsible for pick-up. nbsp; I can assist your shipper on my end.   The motorcycle MUST be paid for within 7 days of auction ending.   The motorcycle will be released for pick-up or shipping after payment has cleared my bank.   I can store the motorcycle up to 30 days after auction ending.   Please ask ANY AND ALL questions prior to bidding.   If you would like to speak with me in person I can be reached at 203-874-8666 early afternoons Monday - Friday.   THIS MOTORCYCLE IS SOLD ~ AS IS ~ NO RETURNS. PLEASE. NO TIRE KICKERS.
