1941 Columbia...make that a 54

[Christopher]

Went on a biking excursion in northern Wisconsin this weekend and it's been raining cats and dogs. Good thing for me, I stumbled on this beauty at a flea market while hiding from the down pours. Came from the original owner who stored it in a barn for years. Looks to be full intact and all original. I'm loving the rain this weekend.

Sweeeeeet Score!!!!
That does seem to be a pretty complete original.
It's not a 1941 though. You'll probably find it is around a 1953 give or take a few years. Which makes it even better in my eyes. I think the Columbia winged tanks are some of the coolest tanks ever!!
What's the serial number on it?

Hi Brian good to hear from ya. I thought it was early 50's but the son of the original owner was adement it was a 1941. The serial number is W 50276.

Appreciate it G-Man. It was a good day...I'm officially on the Columbia bandwagon with two classics on the brood.
