Unusual motorbike frame - Emblem MFG or?

[Dave Stromberger]

I've got this interesting motorbike frame... it has massive 1 1/8" tubing for the top, down, and seat tubes, which I don't recall having seen on a 30's bike before. The rear stays are "D" shaped tubing, and the dropouts look like Emblem built Pierce. It will accommodate a 28" wheel or 26" balloon, so I think it's one of those transition era frames, but I could be wrong. Anybody have a clue?

The fat tubing doesn't give it away?

Looks pope or Columbia built too me

It has Columbia drop outs.

D shaped chain stays and dropouts look Emblem.

Thanks guys. Columbia built, or Emblem. I'll look at other bikes and see if I see more similarities. The big tubing, that must have been something they'd mention in sales literature... pretty unique for a motorbike frame, no?

Old thread, but will post anyway..Pierce-Emblem perhaps. I recently found this big-tubed Emblem/Pierce bike below for comparison.
