Wow. I've never seen a McCauley 9 hole rack with "rat trap?" springs. How very cool.
Yeah, I was stoked to get it. It's in really nice condition as well, matches the patina of my bike and has the original reflector. @fordmike65 mentioned it was an accessory rack made by McCauley although not shown in the Colson catalogue (they show a standard McCauley rack). Since my Colson is badged as a Delmar from Simmons Hardware Co. I think its entirely possible they could have offered it this way. Either way I love it.
 
Another Colson project of mine, Christmas present for one of my daughters. Just finished up the preservation:

1936 Colson Vogue:

-Blew apart the bike and cleaned up/polished all the painted parts
-Rebuilt the date matched F4 Morrow rear hub (thanks @Gordon for the bearings)
-Replaced some worn BB cups (thanks @fordmike65 )
-Purchased missing Seat (thanks @lgrinnings )
-Added OG Basket from another 36 Colson Vogue
-New Royal Chain cream/black tires from John
