Please help identifty this wonderful antique Pierce Arrow bicycle
Hello all. Thanks for including me in your forum. Been an avid cyclist my entire life. I was gifted this antique Pierce ( NOT Pierce Arrow-have been educated) bike and would like to know the year of manufacture, model, any other info and worth if sold. Searching the net, I have come up with very little info or similar pics to go off of. Is it an 1899?
I've taken some pics , but seems i need 10 posts to post them here. At this point I can email/ forward pics to anyone interested in helping. Any and all help is much appreciated. Thanks again

...this is old enough that you might also try the CABE forum for information. Never mind, I see you already started a thread there.
For stuff like this, I generally do Google searches for the various museum collections. Some of them have their collections online now.

The Bicycle Museum of America has some Pierce catalogs from that era. I couldn't access them on line, but they may respond to an email request.

Many thanks to all of you that have responded with a wealth of information and direction. I will continue to educate myself.
Do intend to sell it to fund other motorized 2 wheeled projects. Anyone have a ballpark idea of what it may be worth in its current condition as seen in pics with the few non-original and missing bits?
Thanks again all!!!
