Need to know year of this bike

I listed at the cabe but no response serial is 5A3335 and these are the parts that were on the bike before I took them off.

I like the forks because you have to spread them apart to put the wheel on.

Hi I saw this post both places, I will answer on the CABE also for others that may be interested there.

It appears that you have a girl’s Colson frame and the serial number could be read as a 1935 production date. Not all Colson numbers adhere to the most common decoded pattern for the make but the 1935 interpretation is backed up by the straight seat stays which predate the change to curved seat stays in 1936.

The fork is the standard early Colson truss fork but the stem is from the later thirties and newer than the frame.

Thanks for the info.
