And we found a letter mentioning Claude Butler.
The previous owner was the brother of the secretary in a relative’s office in the 1980s.
When the secretary died everything she owned went to the relative & later to us. The previous owner rode this bicycle every morning for years many miles every day.
He came from Germany. He moved to New York in 1904. He was very enamored w/ the bicycle & it hung from his ceiling. It has a noticeably light feeling bicycle & seems very- non squeaky very smooth feeling when we move it. No one here has ridden it yet.
