Vintage 1940-1950s Westfield Columbia Girl's Bicycle Red & White for sale in Lee, Massachusetts

$65

The following listing is for a great looking vintage Westfield Columbia bicycle! I want to start out by saying that I know next to nothing about vintage bikes and don't know what is important to you as a collector. I'll do my best to describe this, but please let me know if there is something I've left out, or information you think I need to add. I believe this bike to be in the 1940 to 1950s range, as far as age goes, judging from what I've seen on the Internet, but feel free to correct me on that if you believe it's wrong. It's in a great red and white paint. The seat is brown leather and is in quite good condition. It only gives a hint that cracks may ensue. The bike itself does have some rust spots, but retains much of it's paint. The handle bars have rust and are in the Harley position. I don't know if the bike would have been manufactured this way (don't think so?) or if it's an adjustment made later. I don't know how or what to measure to determine the size, but the tires say 24 x 2.125, which may tell you something. The front tire also says Uniroyal Chain. The rear tire has a different tread than the front. The front tire is flat and shows signs of cracking. It was inflated when I bought it, and re-inflated since, but apparently does not hold air. One of the pedals is worn down as can be seen in one of the photos. I presume the bike should have had a chain guard?, as most that I've looked at online do, so that would be missing. While, again, I don't know a great deal about vintage bikes, I am a sucker for them, and just couldn't resist buying this. It is just an incredibly cool looking thing!
