I noticed the nice ad on p.61 of the Fall issue of The Antique Motorcycle. It shows a 1915 Iver-Johnson (cool styling!) and a "1907" Harley-Davidson up for auction.
Does anyone know the serial number on the engine in the "1907" Harley-Davidson?
Serial number analysis is a special interest of mine and a lot can be gleaned from early Harley serial numerology. The breakdown between 1907 and 1908 serial numbers is an obscure area that needs clarification. Before that it's not even clear if 1906 models had a serial number (I don't think they did), and 1905 Harleys did not.
So if anybody knows the serial number of the Otis Chandler "1907" Harley it would be great to hear it!
PS: On p.28 "Old Sage" also mentions a 1907 Harley at an auction in Nebraska. The "nicest 1907 that anyone had ever seen." Are these the same bike or are "1907" Harleys coming out of the woodwork all of the sudden?
