what is this?

[oskisan]

Can someone please help me identify this frame. I was told it was a columbia, but have no idea what model it may be (if it is indeed a Columbia). The fork it came with had a postwar set of schwinn truss rods and no headbadge so I could use a little help with this one.

'40s Westfield/Columbia. Any visible serial numbers on the underside of the bottom bracket?

Serial number is: K175104

Not sure but I believe that the peculiar seat post clamp may have been an early post war design.

Thank you all so much for the help... At least I can start from here and find out what is correct on this pile of parts that came with this bike

Hi, Ken, @oskisan K175104 was probably Sept-Oct 1946.

This one is from earlier in 1946, but may help you.

Hello fellow Cabers! Picked this up today mostly for the rims and pedals but am interested in knowing more about what manufacturer it might be from. I’m assuming it’s prewar from the rear facing dropouts. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
