1941 Westfield Columbia Bike in my attic

I would Sell it.. if it was something you have to decide on what to do with then its a important bicycle but not enough to keep anymore.. someone will take it cherish and use it like it should be .. possibly having the thought that its gonna find a new happy home will bring closure on it.

Maybe a Monday or Friday stamping, still trying to figure my 50's that starts with a V that I don't seen in any Westfield/Columbia lists?

ask Kenneth, aka @MrColumbia

How are your knees? If you are so inclined to get it rolling and ride it you may find some real joy in it. If not I would say if any close friends or anyone in your family likes riding any kind of bicycle offer it to them. They might just love it. If not then sell it..... Perhaps to someone here. Just don't repaint or throw anything like the tires away. If you decide to sell it keep it as found. Thanks for sharing!

There was never a "V". If it is a 5's Columbia it may be a "W" that is poorly stamped.

Have a picture of the entire bike? There is no "V" in the charts and in 30 years have never came across one.

I bet it ya pumped the tires up and readjusted the bars and seat you could ride it as is , that thing is mint ! I think most my fellow members agree, keep it ride it ! If not sell it to one of us so it stays perfect !!

Rub out and polish the paint air up the tires and you will decide to hang on to it I'm certain!
Great family heirloom! Value not particularly high but not low either...
600-1000 depending on the interest of the buyer is a good window.
