1896 Huseby by Huseby Cycle Company in Milwaukee WI. The company was incorporated January 1896. The company failed and went into receivership August 22, 1896.
The wood is rock elm. Three models were offered - a racer, a roadster and a women's pattern.
A period article said they produced 40 bicycles a day.
George Huseby was born 1865 in Norway and moved with his parents to America in 1871.

Direct from Copake. The Swap meet is on the 26th.

We are postponing our 29th Annual Bicycle Auction until June 27th due to current circumstances. We get people that travel from all over the globe for this event and feel it’s the best move for consignors and customers. The good news is our catalog is almost finished with over 850 lots including some of the best material we have offered in years; also the catalog will be online approx. 6 weeks before the auction which will gain great exposure for the auction. Thanks for your cooperation. We look forward to the event and wish you all the best.

Just a reminder from the Membership Chairman about renewing your formal (i.e. REAL) membership in The Wheelmen organization.  Ability to read and post here on the message board does NOT necessarily mean you are a member of The Wheelmen.

You can renew (and join if you haven't been a member) from this website:
https://www.thewheelmen.com/sections/membership/membership.php

If you have a question about your membership status, sned me an e-mail at:
MemberShip@thewheelmen.org

By the way, the first 2020 Newsletter has been delayed a bit due to swtiching printer companies (or something like that). .

I have a c1900 bike with a wood frame and fork. Each have blackened metal lugs, perhaps made of brass. And of course, wooden rims and handlebars.

Anyone have a clue who made this bike?
