Also Pierce survived the bike crash of the first decade of the 20th century annd I believe they continued to make this model for some time, maybe until the1920's as Kramer was still quite a popular figure. The cranks and stem can be hard to date as they were probably both made over a very long period. Original chrome plating as opposed to nickel is a givaway on later parts. Something doesn't look right about the rear hub and at least the saddle is worth bucks to sell.
Listmeister Dale has a Pierce on display at his shop.
