Farmboy,
I'm surprised you didn't know what it is.
It's actually a steering wheel stabilizer,  cause it ain't got breaks. Or rivits!!

I would give $10,000.00 if it only had brakes and a jelly seat!!!

Could you post a photo of a Overman Wheel Sporting Goods Catalog?
I understand Overman manufactured many sporting good items.
I have the following items:
Juggling pins
Baseball bat and mitt
Hockey face mask
Golf Clubs

What other "goods" were offered?

If interested, check EBay  under Antique Bicycle

18" Expert Rear Wheel
Light Roadster step
4th Pattern Kirkpatrick Seat

Thank you,
Keith Pariani

As far as the rear tire, try Tractor Supply. They have a foam donut tire that should work. You have to buy the entire wheel that includes the tire, but it's under $20.00

Dick,
I believe the show that you are referring to is the tractor show in Avon Park , Florida. The show is put on by The Florida Flywheelers. Next show is Jan 16, 2019 and then again Feb 20, 2019.
The following weekend in Feb, another show, even bigger is in Zolfo Springs, Florida.
All our shows are late fall and early spring.

Mike,
Check Copake Auction
I believe 2 years ago an early unicycle sold at auction. It was, as yours is, made up from high wheel parts and early safety parts. The frame was more vintage to modern.
Also sold last year, was a clown or trick bike. It too was made from high wheel parts, both hubs and rear cranks with bearing cages were high wheel, while the remainder was 1960's vintage.
Looking at yours, the forks are from vintage to modern and using modern welding, the Overman Wheel bearing cages are welded to these forks. These type bearing cages were used on high wheels and solid tire safeties up to 1891.
Looking through all the Victor, Columbia and Gormlley and Jeffery catalogues from 1883 through 1899, no where in any are found any type of Unicycle.
I believe yours is a more modern made up bike and not a manufactured for sale to the public. Doubt that this is a proto type or one off .
Solids like you have scored big time coming into the hobby new and finding 6 bikes together. The Elliott Hickory is a great find. You would have to post photo, as there are many models.
Good luck and best to you.
