CWC Speed king ( how desireable are these? )

That bike should clean up great. Wish I found them in that good condition.

A couple more images ( Thanks for the input guys )
It appears the person riding this biffed and messed up the front wheel as well as bent the fork. After biffing, decided to work on breaks therefore removing rear hub.
Here it sits. The one painted area I did a quick hit with rubbing compound. The chain guard is aluminum and super malleable. Boy, I was hoping this was a home run.
I'll take a single. Thanks Again

Not a common badge, I have a couple. Haven’t seen one on a postwar bike. Yours is interesting though. The fork is strange and the fenders dont look peaked but the paint matches.

Thanks for noticing the unusual characteristics. The fork almost appears to be rolled metal and not solid (first picture)
As mentioned earlier with the aluminum chainguard. I can easily manipulate it with my bare hand. Never experienced that. Were they thinking weight in those days?
Thanks again

Thanks. A third can be yours. I have decided to sell this for sale under the parts thread.
