CWC Serial # help

[kshimp41]

Just picked up this CWC All American. Told by owner it was 1935 or 36? Serial # F55156. Any help on year and info on bike will be appreciated. Pictures attached. Thanks.

I'm thinking that is early 1940. V/r Shawn

Has the fork been changed?
It looks "Colson"

I bet you an ice creme sandwich it's original to that bike. Some CWC's also used a fork where the front fender attaches to a forward tab.

Now if the forkends are closed...that's a different story.

I'm at work at the moment and don't have the serial chart but I'm guessing 40's as well.

The fork on this bike could be correct. I have two earlier examples with this same style fork.

I already answered --first part of 1940. V/r Shawn

"F" indicates 1940 as Shawn stated.

I got your ice cream sandwich in my freezer for the next time you do an OC ride... come on down.
