Subject: [CR]Queen City racing? bicycle

Has anyone ever heard of a "Queen City" brand bicycle? I cannot find a reference for it online. My Dad bought this bike at an auction in the early 1960's and I recently plucked it out of his attic. It was old when he bought it - I'm guessing it might be from the 20's or 30's??? Supposedly, it is a racing bicycle. I have attached a photo in hopes that the list will allow attachments. If not, reply back to me and I will send one. I would love to know some of the history of this bicycle. Does anyone know where to find the solid rubber tires to fit an old bike like this?

The name on the brass plate on front is “Queen City” F.A. Baker Co., New York. The seat is a “Persons” seat – I’ve seen those before..think they still are in existence? The seat nameplate is also in brass. The inside of the rims are lined with wood. There are no brakes and no gears.

Thanks for any information! Kerry Harrison
