I have a pair with a ‘36 Colson Vogue to go with. Sorry I haven’t gotten back to you... @fordmike65 & @PlasticNerd. I had surgery and I’m without my right hand for at least a month...sucks

Depending on who finds some original paint ‘35-‘36 or ‘37-‘39 Mead Ranger brown fenders first (to trade) May just win themselves a Colson Vogue. It’s a race...

Does anyone know when these bars were introduced? Obviously at least '36, but possibly any earlier? What year is the above Columbia men's bike @catfish ? Thanks.

Ha!! Looks like I just answered my own question! A simple Google search of the patent number in the ad posted above came up with this. So cool! Patent file date of Jan 25, 1934. Production date of Mar 19th, 1935?
