I was looking at the Murray date charts and didn't see a match, couldn't find westfield charts, is there other date charts ?

Hi @kos22us

A77280 is a Westfield built frame from early 1936. There should be another letter/number stamped above it (possibly C2 or C3). If you tell us this, we can tie down the date more exactly.

Best Regards,

Adrian

C 4 is stamped above the serial number , thanks for the info

Hi @kos22us

Thanks for that. (-:

C4 means the frame was made in April 1936, so almost exactly 85 years ago. The bike will have been built up very shortly after.

Best Regards,

Adrian
