Head badges only started saying Weston around 1917/18. The serial number on the seat tube lug will identify the year of manufacture. 

With wood rims I would say you're in around the 300$ mark.

This bicycle was made in the mid 1920's. The Crescent name was used by CCM as a lower-priced brand. This bicycle is not in particularly good shape. If the wooden rims are good, with no splits or missing pieces of wood, and are relatively true, I would say that it could be worth $350 to $450.

Gleen , the fenders seem to be much earlier than the bike (difficult to say 100% from the pics)

but they could be 1900's to 1910's and pretty rare and valuable

bike without the fenders, $300 to $400, fenders could be worth $200 by themselves

Max, he's asking $800. Enjoy your 9 hour drive from Trois-Rivières.

Thanks Brian for the heads up :)
I have drivers that deliver used trucks in Detroit 2 times a week and pick up my purchases in Ontario on their empty way back. :) Do you serious think that I do all this driving???

I don't get it.

 

He asks what the value is.

 

Then asks double what everyone suggests.

High sentimental value - in the family since new.

Sentimental value is priceless if you HAVE the item.

When it is being sold, it is worth whatever someone will give you.

 

If it is semtimental, keep it !  Hang it on the wall as art.

 

If you are willing to sell it, don't expect the buyer to pay for sentimental value.
