Not sure if this qualifies as antique

She is pretty old. Elgin Swallow (?) I think. Pretty original condition... except for the side stand I think. Rack may be an add-on as well.
she?
Should something this old be left alone? I am not sure I want to keep it.

About how old is she?

Nice, a lot of good original paint. I'll guess 35-36 ish, serial # under BB will confirm. Good luck w/ what ever you decide to do w/ it.

I believe she's a '37 with those fenders and dropcenters.

Thanks, does the rack look like the same era?

I love it! The rack, stand and grips look not to be correct but the everything else look great. Congrats

Obviously but for those not knowing Westfield built under contract to Sears & Roebuck.

1937. The kick stand was added later (along with the rear rack the rear drop outs are designed for a drop stand. Check out the bike in the lower right corner of this ad. Same bike but the speedometer / clock is missing. Or there's another page to the catalog that shows the same bike without the speedometer / clock. ???? One of the colors listed is Sapphire Blue with Ivory trim. Find a drop stand, lace the rear fender, and ride it (after some bearing maintenance.)
