Look at E Bay heading as noted in the title.
Hopefully, someone can post the link and a photo.
Could this possibly be a period piece? While, there are signs that show age and construction techniques from the era, there are other indications that were not developed yet. Mainly, electric welding. Note the crank and axle welds. The welds at the "loop" spring in the rear suspension.
My intuition tells me that this is from someone's imagination and made in Thailand or India as a "art" piece.

Glenn Eames posted on the Wheelmen Facebook website about his 1879 Columbia Standard.
At Copake, I was fortunate enough to acquire # 1044 of the 1050 Columbia Standards manufactured in 1879. The wheel size is 44".
Glenn is inquiring if any of the 1878 bikes exist.
How many 1879 Standards are out there?
