Pre war CWC DBR Tank bikes thread

[CWCMAN]

Based on the serial numbers so far, these hang tank bikes were produced between 1937-1939

I'd love to see other examples along with the serial numbers.

Time for me to get a bit 'o education here. I always thought this style fork indicated Snyder built. Serial number and frame style says CW. What years would CW have been using this style? Enlightenment please.

Triple crown forks are seen on Cleveland Welding bikes as well as Snyder built bikes. Usually on lower end bikes. Quite common on Hawthorne badged bikes. The Snyder and CWC top crown are slightly different

There's got to be some more original examples out there

The one in the add is a snider built bike
The 2 in the picture are Cleveland Welding built

Although both Snyder and CWC built similar bikes for Montgomery Wards,
the ad is actually a Cleveland Welding built bike. Distinguishing differences include the straight fender mount ant the seat post binder
