Lookin for history about this badge. Bought the bike in Louisiana. The badge has a fleur de leis and lion, similar to the ancient "Rex" parade scociety of New Orleans logo. Any chance of a correlation?
the bike was built by Westfield Columbia, probably mid 50's.
they built bikes for everyone, hardware stores, bike shops, other manufacturers, etc, so your bike was probably one of those. no idea what the "rex" stands for, sorry...
