Hi All,
I see there was a WW1 Columbia 'Military Model' being sold in Gettysburg, PA, USA last week. Did anyone buy this, or have an idea of the final price? Or any other information on the origin?
This one has the serial number USA5158, (with the U inverted) which is a new one to me. The head badge is stamped USA.
The photos below are copied from the website, with credit to Redding Auction Service.
For comparison, here is @Dave Stromberger 's USA serial number, so I'm confident that it is an original frame. (probably stamped by the same person!)
For reference, here is the auction link: https://www.invaluable.com/auction-...tary-model-bicycle-u-s-army--900-c-2e74cdd84a
Best Regards,
Adrian
