picked up 15 banana boxes of parts and about 15 bikes from an old guy who used to own a bike shop and has always been a pack rat.
he is a rat rodder too. has a 1928-1940 model-a rod he built from scrap pretty much.

anyhow, i need help identifying some of these. i appreciate any and all help.

i have photographed most of the bikes. posting overall photos below. will photograph parts soon. lots of NOS.
more detail shots on my flickr.

It looks to be a Westfield (Columbia) built bike by the frame style. The sprocket is from a Monark/Silver King. But those frame bar designs look a LOT like the ones on a westfield frame I have. They look kinda like little post hole diggers! ~Adam
