1937 Colson Hi Lo

So I've been trying to do some research and the only year I can find any solid evidence of this bike being built is 1934. In the beginning of the Colson Book it says the bike was made from '33-'37. Based on the literature I think '34 was the first year. I do not see any mention of the Hi Lo in later years catalog pages? Does anyone have an ad or other literature showing the bike being offered '35-'37? Anyone have a Hi Lo with other than a '34 serial number? Thanks, Shawn

Have the pre-37 serials been deciphered?

I guess I'm getting no where fast with my Hi-Lo search for information. Other than a couple of snippets here and there I can't find any definitive references showing the Hi-Lo offered beyond 1934. Was this a one year only bike? @fordmike65 @John what ye say? V/r Shawn

Honestly, I don't know much about these. I have heard that they were only made from approximately 33-35. I know @rustjunkie has some experience with these, as do @catfish & @geosbike.

Thanks I have a copy of that. What I need to find is some dealer/retail literature. V/r Shawn

Based on this thread https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/pre-1937-colson-serial-number-project.128901/ it looks like the number/letter combo on these bikes may indicate year/month. Of course only two serial numbers listed--4Dxxxx and 4Exxxx so I'd like to see some more Hi-Lo serial numbers. Especially any that start with something besides "4". V/r Shawn
