Hi @schwinnphantom

Sorry, there's not much more to say than you already have about that frame.

The gas welded joints also indicate it was a G519. The staright bar frame means it's likely to be from one of the same two contracts as the other two frames, but I don't know any other way to tie it down than that.

Good to see all three frames, though, and thanks for showing them.

Any thoughts now on restoration?

Best Regards,

Adrian
 
I will somehow try to ask parts from everybody in this group sir. Another frame just came over. My friend's G519 😊

Hi @schwinnphantom

Are these growing on trees there? (-:

Please thank your friend for me. I wonder where all the detachable pieces from these bikes went. It certainly presents a long term project to try to get them back together.

I read H157447 as the serial number, so it was produced in the same contract as your H157317 and built right at the end of 1943 to contract number 33008ORD159, running from 10/43 to 3/44. This order was for 6000 bicycles.

Again, the original fork, was probably dated 113 (Nov 1943) or 123 (Dec 1943) on the back of the crown,

The Morrow would probably have been stamped M2 Quarter 2 1943) or M3 (Quarter 3 1943).

The cloest survivor to your friend's bike is this one H157495 from @iswingping


It sounds as if a batch of Huffmans were shipped to the Philippines during or after their liberation, so after late 1944.

You mentioned your Columbia, but I wasn't sure if you meant it was also a G519. Do you see any of the Columia G519's there?

Best Regards,

Adrian
 
There are hundreds of G519s around the PhilippinesI . I think they arrived when Gen. McArthur came back in 1944 together with jeeps and other hardwares.
I know friends who own both Huffman and Columbia . I also have some. They are not yet on your list Andrian. I’m planning to come back home this March 2022 and gather some infos for your records .

Hey Adrian kindly move my last 2 posts to G519 Columbia Frame Numbers . I feel I’m ruining this thread. Thanks.

Hi All,

As ever, if your bike is on here, and you wish to correct or add details, please contact me.

I would like to thank the many people who have contributed details to this table.

New frames welcome (-:

In addition to these I know of one more Huffman G519 where I don't have the details to put them on the list.

The score for known Huffman Daytons at September 2022 are:

42 plus one 1942 curved bar.

Best Regards,

Adrian
 
Hi Adrian,
The fork code for my 1942 Huffman S/N D50158 is 12 ( Jan. 1942 ). Also, regarding my 1943 Huffman S/N H127317 the BB code is 3. The fork code is 93 ( Sept. 1943 ). It has a Morrow rear brake with an Eclipse Machine Co. rear hub code of M4.

Regards,
Bill
