Dunno what make it is but I'm gonna send a pic to a well known classic mag to find out, but I'm guessing it's around 1910ish....and has an unusual fork design i've not seen before.
It must have been burried for at least 30-40 years to get that bad!!...I'ts totally beyond any sort of resto'
but may yield some engine/frame numbers.
I'm hanging it up in the garage as a trophy haha.

Oh it's not beyond repair... just beyond
economical repair...
There's a huge difference..
I bet someone could get that restored.. but it's not how so much as how much..
Identified
