Need to know the Value of Vintage Cuiser
Does anyone know of a site where I could find the value of my Columbia Manufacturing Inc. Cruiser? It's a classic... Just need to know how much it is worth.

Early '50s maybe '40s judging by the seat, the h.bar, the overall look. The basic frame design lasted many years but :
A shot of the front of the saddle's obscured, not completely visible.
Can't see the chain guard assuming it has one. (photo'd wrong side)
No fenders and aside from that and that it came with or has no extra sheet metal.
All makes it not realy very collectable. The "best" ones had Deluxe Extras with decor.
I've seen later, presumeably less rare, newer ones go for two hundred.
I just don't think you'll break a hundred for yours unless somebody has plans for it.

+1 1970s-1980s. Columbia made low end discount store bikes. $50 around here, in ready to ride, top notch condition. Bike does not appear to be in that condition right now.
