Tank

Looks like a 1960's columbia. Is it made of plastic?

 

[meteor]

thanks

Yes, plastic. I connected a D battery to it and both bulbs light up. Lens has 1/2" crack bottom right side. Chrome paint is faded with wear. The body is in excellent condition with no cracks or breaks. If I can get specific id and/or approx value I'll offer for sale.

I think that is for a 1960s AMF Roadmaster, possibly a girls tank.

CF1 I think you are right. This won't work on boy's bike? I am selling for $20 shipped. I'll post in b/s/t with more photos. The crack in lens is on top left, not bottom right.

I think this is your bezel in question

This is a listing on ebay that has your bezel...Western Flyer Sportmaster

But the pointed chainguard and the graphics on that and the tank on this listed bike speaks Evans to me. Not familar with the chainring but, looks to be an AMF product..

I once owned a Skyrider with that same tank light so I recognize this.

JD, I think AMF is like AMC, they were made up from a bunch of little companies that couldn't keep it together and/or compete.

Interesting...I was guessing on the comparison. You would be the one to ask and trust your thoughts....I just noticed the listing and felt it was a close match.
