It's got a frame number and the remains of a manufacturers plaque that says somewhere, Michigan so I doubt if it's homemade.

Can't figure what that frame is but while looking I found this gem built in 1929  :o
I love it and reckon it was about 80 years ahead of it's time in the stying department. It wouldn't look that out of place on the showroom floor against the current crop of hyper bikes 8) maybe I little lacking in performance but eh..easy fix  ;)
