I have a 1934 Westfield Columbia camelback bike in need of replacement fork. In 1934 maybe ‘33 and ‘35 bikes were offered with 28” or 26” wheels/tires using the same frame and fork. Thus the fork length accommodates the 28’s and the width a top provides clearance for 26’s.
Mine has a fork blade length of 15”.
The tire Clearance at the top is 2-11/16”.
The steerer tube is 4-1/2” to 5” long and 1” OD.
Trussed crown at fork.
A longer steerer length could be shortened to fit. The blade length and tire clearance are key to maintain geometry and allow use of 26” tires.
My fork is bent and is missing one tab on the left axle slot.
