Looks to be a "newer" model. Made after the company moved from the east to the left coast. I had one in the late 1970s/80s but sold it because my legs weren't quite long enough. Looks like the front wheel is a bit bent. A friend pretzeled the wheel on his. I un_spoked the wheel and tried to straighten the rim out with limited results. it was rideable but not good enough so he ordered a replacement wheel for it. As I recall he paid $350 for the replacement wheel in the early 1980s. The price of a new bike is quite reasonable so my guess is a wheel would be too. These are much safer to ride than the 1870s bikes as it has some head tube angle. More angle moves your center of gravity back so a header is far less likely. Racers would max out the wheel size and by making the head tube vertical, they would be more directly over the wheel and could get an even larger wheel for higher speeds. I've ridden a few antique penny farthings and I would say the Rideable Replica is far easier and much more stable to ride. The modern saddle is much easier to get get on/off. The older loop spring saddles are really good at snagging baggy shorts. It won't ever be confused for an antique by anyone that knows much about bikes but most people are pretty clueless and will be impressed.
