What is this bike?

Cruisin' on my Bluebird
I just bought this bike with plans on reselling it but am having second thoughts because I really like it. The badge says Firestone Warrior but I am now thinking that it looks like someone may have just put this badge on & it's not original? Any help on make & year would really be appreciated.

Definitely Elgin; the paint scheme and the grease zerts lend to that identity. Westfield built with an A serial is 1936. This model didn't have a name in '36. I've always liked the Elgin moto-ballooners--nice bike.

Since you have radius fenders, you are probably looking for the '37 + issue blue V badge.
I have a nicely patina'ed original earlier badge I listed on ebay last night if you prefer or if its cheaper...not sure if the holes line up, but I can check.

Hey Chris, radius fenders are shown in the catalog for 36-37 f/w. His serial is '36 so I think the early version is indeed the badge he needs.
