Beautiful survivor.
I think collectors will pay 3...4,000 on such a bike.

I think that would be a little optimistic. A very nice original paint bike may hit that kind of money. I bought this one for $1800 shipped. BTW the bike is a '37--first year of Zep. It should also have a locking fork. If not it isn't a Zep. V/r Shawn

Thanks for the additional information
Always good to have a second opinion, I was told it was a '36 Zep.
I'll be checking in with the builder this week to get more information.
Any idea what identification numbers should be on the frame?.
These are very faint and some look like proof marks and letters.
Thanks again and safe travels.

frame is 1938 and later, fender braces appear to be new as used on columbia reproductions, saddle is funky.
