My First Project

Hey everyone, I just got a Union bicycle that I want to restore. I don't know much about the history of this bike, but I would love to learn. Any way to tell the time frame this bike was manufactured? I tried Google searching Union Holland, but their page redirects. Any ideas for color schemes for a retro style bicycle? Plans are yo switch the saddle for a leather one. I also need tips on how to effectively painting/sanding/clear coating? Thanks!

Welcome to the Forum. Rule number 1: Please post pictures, particularly of the drive side, also details of lugwork, dropouts, seat cluster, bottom bracket, etc.

I tried to upload pictures but it is from my phone so I guess it's not capable. I'll try to upload some soon.
