Hi @blackcat

I was an early joiner for Facebook, but haven't looked at it for maybe 15 years. It grew into something irritating I had no need of. So, no shame at all (-:

The current owner, Jason McKenney, said "My g 519 Columbia found in a chicken coupe in the middle of Nebraska several yrs ago I'm assuming it was at pow camp or flight school during WW2."

With the straight bar frame it's not from 1941, or the early part of 1942. It is also an interesting mix of Huffman and Westfield parts, seemingly correct military, but maintained in an Army workshop where 'Parts is parts'. The frame is Westfield Columbia, judging by the rear dropouts.

Best Regards,

Adrian

Hi All,

to add just a little.

From observation, straight downtube Columbia G519's start at around June 1942, and run through to the end of production in February 1944.

If the 'Coffin' chainwheel is correct, then it would either be between June 1942 and March 1943, or January to February 1944.

It looks nice. If someone here does buy it, please share details.

Best Regards,

Adrian
