Wondering if anyone has any info on this Ennwell light?
It was on a 1936 CCM that I picked up.
Thanks in advance!

It took me about two weeks to track this beauty down and pick it up. Pretty amazing. About 30 mins from my house. Originally found in an old barn just outside of Kelowna B.C., its been ripped apart, cleaned and pollished. I picked it up last night, went on a 15km ride around the Vancouver sea wall, put on the big bar this morning, she agreed to a little photo shoot and now shes tucked in for a good night sleep.
I am posting for an acquaintance that I met on another frorum and is awaiting approval on his Vintage CCM membership. This not my bicycle. I haven't seen it in person. All I've seen are the photos that I'm posting on his behalf. He's looking for age and any information. Reportedly, everything works well on it. Here's what I told him:
Due to the heavy rain this week and last night... the bike show this week-end is cancelled !!!
Please spread the word to those you know !
Jody's property is soaked and will not be dry in time for the Sunday show !!!
Sorry to be posting this bad news on Jamie's behalf !!!
So I just did a re and re on the CCM 37 hub on the Flyte. Completely cleaned, wire wheeled all gunk and greased all parts. I even bought a cylinder oner and honed the heck out of them. Just like my other 37 hub it started to screech after several long rides.
Not Safe For Bike Weirdos...
Spent a good ten hours (okay, maybe 12) doing a cleanup and service of this lovely lady. As requested I took a ton of pics for you all. if you want any different angles, just lemme know.
Few things I noticed.
What's left of 1937 Flyte serial # 3A851 was discovered in the loft of a garage after a house purchase in St. Catherines. It most definitely looks black, not a rusty/dirty Saphire Blue. I removed the pump clamp and it's still black underneath. Is there a chance CCM made Flytes in black in 1937 or 38? Could it have been a custom colour, or did the colour fade to black over 80 years? The cream fenders have a stripe down the middle. The forks are rusted chrome. I will be able to put wheels and handlebar on it and ride it as soon as it stops raining.
Just picked this up today. Fella was about 20 minutes from my house!
I'll get more pictures soon.

I just got this delivery bike as a frame and fork.
