Description
• Manufacturer: Pope Manufacturing Company (Hartford, CT / Westfield, MA) • Model: Model 51 (Ladies' Chainless / Shaft-Drive) • Year of Production: 1898 • Drive System: Enclosed bevel gear shaft drive (No chain) • Brake Type: Handlebar-actuated front tire spoon/plunger brake • Saddle: Period-correct stitched brown leather double-spring seat • Condition: Incredible "barn-find" condition. The bicycle is fundamentally intact with its most crucial historical asset—the crisp, original factory frame stamping—exceptionally well-preserved. It displays a uniform, outdoor-weathered patina with surface rust, oxidized paint, and deflated tires. The frame structure is solid and rigid with no cracks or broken welds. Mechanical drive gears and internal components are unexamined outside of storage and are sold as-is for restoration or display
