http://www.nostalgic.net/bicycle162 This post on Nostalgic is titled "1937-1938 Westfield Victory Bicycles Catalog." However, if you go to save any of the page images indicates 1941, such as "1941 Westfield Victory Catalog pg1". Anybody know which it is?

Victory was a brand name for a line of bikes made by Westfield. "Victory" bikes were made during WWII and were usually marked with a V on the front and back fenders.

So, if US did not enter WWII until very end of 1941, I wonder when Westfield began producing the brand? Could the catalog have been from 37-38?

No mystery. The catalog is from 1939. That's why the models described in it are labeled D64 etc.. The letter D indicates 1939. The catalog on nostalgic.net is for Westfield built bikes that had a Victory headbadge. These are different than the victory models that catfish described. Victory was just one of many badges used by Westfield. I don't know why the nostalgic.net images are labeled 1941.

I have the same catalog posted on my albums page. However the one I posted is for Westfield bikes, not Victory badged ones. But is the same catalog.https://thecabe.com/forum/media/albums/1939-westfield-catalog.1859/
