Made in the little town of Brookfield, Massachusetts, USA

My Dad and I (ok, ok, mostly my dad but I'm right in there!) are restoring a PT Motor-Cycle. It looks to be about 1898 or 1899. There is one other known but it is a later model. Since this is such a rare bike I thought I would share some information on it. If you have any info on these motors or bikes I would love to hear about it!

The PT stands for 2 of the Patentees - Adolph Potdevin and Michael E. Toepel.

More pictures of the bike are coming - We are not quite done with it
