Western Flyer

Something to be wary of... the tank and carrier appear to be Westfield (potentially from the reproduced 1941 Columbia) whereas the rest of the bike appears to be CWC-built. This may not be as original as it seems to some.

I was going to say similar to Lester as the tank is reproduced, tank decal looks a little nice and lastly what a great name for a Junq shop.

*also bikes take up a lot of space in antique shops and they usually know little about bikes. Bring in a small flat head and ask him to take the tank off. odds are he paid $250 for it and it’s definitely still there after Christmas.

Appears to be a post war '47-'48 CWC built bike with a repop Columbia tank and rack painted to match.

Seems like if you were going to spend the time to match/fake the paint you would find the right tank & rack but you won't find those for $50 like the repops!
