Columbia information?

[Double Clutch]

Would someone be able to tell me what kind of rear hub was used on Columbia bicycles? The frame I have is from 1947. I do not know what model bike it is other than the year.

Thank you for the help!

Here is my Columbia frame. Can anyone tell me what model this might be? The year seems to be 1947 from the serial number. I haven't seen a Columbia bike with frame ends like this one. I would like to find parts for it. Any leads would be appreciated!

Thanks!
Dave

well from just a frame you can make it any model you want that is from 1947, This is the only frame style of yours I found http://www.bikeicons.com/images/1941 Columbia Superb Limited Edition.gif

Why do you think it is a Columbia?

Thanks for the info!
I thought it was a Columbia because the serial number seemed to match the Columbia numbers on the chart on the "Old Roads" website and place it in 1947. Although last night I found a couple bikes on the web that look similar and they are both 1940 era Elgins, made by Monark. Another question of mine would be, how interchangable are parts on these bikes. Will a similar vintage fork, handlebars and crank fit or are the manufacturers very different in their tube sizes and bearing sizes? Sorry, I'm a newby to vintage bikes. Thanks again to all!
