Good evening all. I’ve had this a while and am now looking for info on it. Any and all opinions appreciated. I’m told it’s possibly a Colson. C 16911 appears to be the serial number. Thanks!

Looks good whatever it is fork looks Colson seatclamp looks CWC.

Someone will chime in.

Nice find!

Fork needs to be straightened to be happy again!;)
 
Not so sure it's Colson. Can we get better pics of the rear forkends and fender bridge? Are forkends closed? I've seen that chainring on some Colsons and several ladies and juvenile Snyder built bikes.
 
What he said /\ ABOVE /\:D

Also a picture of the serial. The letter style and placement of stamps is often helpful. Colson stamping looks different than CWC for instance.

The straight script of the serial and fender brace on frame look typical of CWC. Sprocket sorta looks Snyder though.
