Ladies (kinda/sorta) Indian

Riding a '37 Colson Imperial
Like the saying goes..."Close, but no cigar". A ladies version of the coveted Indian at first glance, this Ideal badged bicycle is still quite the looker. I'm wondering if anyone can chime in with some info on this early gal. I don't know much more than she's equipped with a ND Model A rear hub, Indian style chainring, so guessing pre-27? Possibly Westfield built, but not quite sure. I'll get her out in the light tomorrow and post better pics of the frame construction, rear forkends and fork crown. Thanks in advance for any insight. Mike

I'm not that versed on these earlier bikes, so would the consensus be that this lady is Westfield built? Those rear forkends(dropouts) are a bit interesting...
