Wanted for Columbia G519: Bevin Bell, Persons Tool Bag+Tolls, Pump,

[TequilaMockingbird]

Hi Everyone,

I’m looking to purchase original accessories for my Westfield Columbia G519. Please let me know if you know someone willing to provide these. The following is what I require:
Persons Tool Bag +Toll Set
Bridgeport No.12 pump with brackets
Bevin Bell
Manuals: TM (Technical Manual) and SNL ((Standard Nomenclature List) for G 519

Thanks

I have what I think is a Bevin Bell I bought on eBay a while ago as a period-correct bell for my 1942 Columbia Sports Tourist. It works okay, I just don’t care for the sound that much. Short “zing-zing” when I want a longer “ziiiiiiiing-ziiiiiiiing.”

Great.

Thx all!

Meanwhile here's a photo of an NOS kick stand that was on Ebay a couple of years ago. Gives you an idea...
Also a photo of one of my toolbags with tools and accessories. The pump in the photo is a replica made by the late Ken Boice of Historical Reproductions back around 2004. I do have an original one but no photos at the moment... Photo attached was taken for the article on G519 I wrote for the french Militaria Magazine in September 2015.

Hi Johan

Wondering if you know what is the original US army issued adjustable wrench for the G519. The one in your picture is not the same as the one that questmaster website shows. On their site the wrench is US army marked and manufactured by the FL Manufacturing Company from Newark N.J. Also wondering if the screwdriver was standard issue and made by what company?

Thanks for any information you can provide

Hi @Trail Rider

It's a common misconception that the US in a diamond marked tools are US Army issue. The US logo is for P. Lowentraut Mfg.

In the same way some US military equipment turns up marked USMC (notably webbing inside M1 helmets), but this is really United Shoe Machinery Company.

More details on logos here http://alloy-artifacts.org/trademarks-and-logos.html

I'm away from my notes for the next few weeks, so I can't give you an example of a 'correct' wrench, but you will find reference numbers for them in the bicycle manuals.

Best Regards,

Adrian

Thank you Adrian for explaining all these details. Between you and Johan, you guys are like an encyclopedia of the G519. Amazing.
