Ok so...this is literally the definition of perfect patina matches!

These fenders were in my fender pile and they are correct for the style of bike. BUT, neither the bike or the fenders are original paint but somehow match nearly perfectly.
I call that old bike fate!

Came with the wrong headlight cover. The “new” one looks perfect. And in the mail now is the correct EA horn unit, so it doesn’t look stupid with a small repop button.

I just need to find a front Forewheel brake and a set of correct handlebars. I like the high flange front hub but the single rear drum doesn’t stop the bike. And if I ever got REALLY lucky, if I could find a ladies locking fork tube that matched the legs, to have ALL the options.

Need opinions…I really think bikes without carriers look naked. So I have this CWC double bar roadster (Hawthorne), and this carrier looks like a pretty darn close match, but it has a secondary support, and I don’t have a corresponding hole in the fender. Do I a) keep looking, b) see if I can figure out a way to do a bumper to protect the fender, or c) drill a small hole in the bumper to fasten it correctly?

Bonus points if someone has a blue prewar CWC carrier they want to sell or trade me.
