maybe this Copake item will give Russell some ideas:

Copake isn't showing current high bids. I guess you have to bid and see if your amount is high enough. Some of their estimates seem way off.

Well, as John said, a lot can happen to a bike in 90 years. It's pretty original but obviously not 100%. The saddle, for example, is not original.
A Lauterwasser bar requires a really short stem, so the length of the stem does not bother me. But is it supposed to be black? Someone painted the seat post, and I suspect that's not all he painted.
Nice bike, though. The price doesn't even seem that crazy to me.

I’m not sure about that short stem either. It looks too short for the stock bike. Are those bars painted black? I’ve not seen the Record Ace with the celluloid handlebars. Am I wrong?

I think it's not a 1934 because it has a brass headbadge, which started in 1936, though a lot can happen over the course of 90 years. It's an RRA. I just think it's later than '34
