Westfield Wednesday! Show Your Bikes Here.

This looks postwar to me.

I think it’s a 41. I don’t have the serial number handy. Did Westfield use skirt guard wire and drop stand ears post war?

Hi Ken @Hastings

F114512 is probably H6 or H7, so the frame made in June or July 1941, and it was built up in July 1941. (if you ever get the chance to confirm the H6 or 7, and let me know if it is and ND-D rear hub, that'd be nice).

It has a few sister survivors.

F118947 / H6 of @Barto https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/columbia-barn-find-ladies.169632/

And F120116 / H6 was a very similar bike, on Ebay a while ago.

Best Regards,

Adrian
