Fresh out of the river: Zenith

Zephyr

Finally riding a big boys bike

Hi, I'm new here. I joined because someone as a Zenith bicycle.
A guy I know found one in the river while fishing. He gave it to me as I like bicyle. I have an hard time dating it as it got painted. The person on here as a sticker for the logo. My bike got a riveted plate. Other than that the frame shape is similar but there's not fenders. the tires are 28x 1 1/2 if that might help.
Since I just got around to find parts for it so it can be ridden I didn't take a moment to have pictures of it. I bet it would be better.
My guess is 1925.
Thanks!

I will defenetly take pictures of it today and see if I'm able to load them up.
This bike is defenetly not a fake and I never posted before. Sorry if it happened before but it wasn't me and I'm legitimate.

SWEET! That is a cool catch! It doesn't look like it was down there for too long. I was expecting a rusted out hulk. Have you tried oldroads.com?

Cool bike, that doesn't look like it was in the river for more than an hour or two.

Do anyone know a little bit about the history of those bikes?
How old would you say that bike is? I have tried oldroads and they have nothing I can compare my Zenith to.

Zenith is a marshal wells dept store brand ---your bike looks to be a CCM (Canadian built bike).
