mystery bike and knucklehead pics

Here is a neat picture of my fathers grandfather's brother back in 1918. I do not know what the bike is? Do any of you guys/Pete have an idea? HEre is a neat picture of Don's 42 foot board mat. I used nos mats on it, and they are beautiful. I am plugging away at Andy's bike. Here is a good pic of how the front brake cable should be routed. I should have this bike running soon. I cant wait.

    Matt, Always like your photos of the '47. Could we get a picture of the top of the dash plate to see the wiring detail? thanks.

    Hi Matt. It looks like an NSU from around 1910-1913. I'll have to check my books when I get home from work to double check though.

    the front forks are distinctive. here's a period NSU that shows some similarities to your bike. check out the monoshock rear suspension!
