Looks good to me. No "correction" needed, tho it probably already has been

How about a few Spitfire badged Huffmans for a head-scratcher ??

A Westfield too!

I don't believe this was badged a Dayton due to the Huffman level paint scheme on the tank.

This is my old bike, and you could see the old paint on the down tube. 100 % said DAYTON.

So check badge and paint on tanks; of course we all know both bikes are Huffman.

After looking at this one closer I would agree that it may have been badged as a Dayton. That said I believe either the tank was added/replaced or repainted a very long time ago. The bike is also missing key Dayton badged parts to include tornado spring seat and putter stem. V/r Shawn

This is a frame I picked up some time ago. Its a bent tank style frame which was not introduced until 1937 based on the CWC catalogs that I have. However, this one is stamped with a very low 1936 "A" serial number and also has the 1936 only offset rear forks at the bottom bracket.

Based on the very low three digit number, this frame was probably made on the first day of CWC bicycle production.

Another similar Schwinn popped up on eBay recently in really nice shape.
