6 Hole Racks prewar vs post war

Wore out three sets of tires already!
I'm seeing 6 hole racks on here that look the same to me but some are in the 100.00 range & some are like 400.00 to 500.00. Whats the difference ? Also the mounting brackets vary a lot in price----?

2.25" vs 2.5" at the front where it mounts to frame under seat. Prewar is 2.25"

Unless it's the prewar tall frame rack top, but those don't come up too often
 
Agreed I can find a post war rack easy and cheap (usually about $50). A pre war on the other hand is probably gonna run at least a couple hundy. V/r Shawn
 
I believe the distance between the front rack strut mount and the front of the rack is smaller too on prewar racks to accomodate for mounting the rack to the axle instead of the fender holes on postwar bikes.
