Let's see those Cwc, Western flyerTall tank survivors out there!

[THEGOLDENGREEK]

So here is my Cwc tall tank with a western flyer badge. Looks to be a rootbeer color. No horn in the tank ,has headlight and light up rear rack. I'm searching for more info on these bikes. From what I understand these bikes were only built in 1941. Love to see how many survivors are still out there, men's and women's bicycle. Please post pics of your bicycle!
