I was told it may be Snyder built by the prior owner. You be the Judge!!
This tank is solid and has been bead blasted at one time. Some surface rust has accumulated from being stored, since then.
I ran my finger over the darker side and I feel a few very shallow ripples here and there that should be filled in prior to painting, if desired.
The lighter side seems reasonably flat and there is no horn button of course as you can see....
It measures 23 - 1/2 inches long x 3-3/4 inches high x 3-3/8 inches thick at the front.


> This tank is waiting for your paint finishing and could be restored easily for that original " Classic ride " or left as is, with a little rust cleanup to bare steel " and an added clear coat for protection. > For use for that " Custom Rat Rod " bicycle! <

Some of the pics may not be clear.......Sorry........

Evans Colson maybe? Mid 50’s early 60’s.

Might be Snyder/Rollfast; looks to have some post-blast hot-work.

I believe Colson-Evans were less curved at the bottom, and had a more squared front, not so chevron pointed, and had the fold or lip only on the top edges.
