To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' Hershey event, 4 - 5 October 2023. rnOffered Without Reserve | $10,000 - $15,000 USD rnrnA fantastic and rarely seen specimen from an innovative British marquernPowered by a 350-cc single-cylinder, chain-driven engine with two-speed Burman gearboxrnDesirably equipped with Lucas carbide headlamp, front mudguard, Powell & Hanmer Revenge carbide taillamp, and biflex forksrnAccompanied by historic registration platesrn rnrnThe Federal and Federation motorcycle brands were produced in formidable volume by the Cooperative Wholesale Society Organization (CWS) at its sprawling factory in Tyseley, Birmingham, England. Not to be confused with the Polish motorcycle manufacture of the same initials, England's CWS utilized an innovative cooperative retail framework, thereby enjoying a global presence throughout the British Empire thanks to a wide variety of member businesses. rnrnFrom 1926 until the end of CWS's motorcycle production efforts eleven years later, the Federation-series models could be had with a lineup of optional engine choices supplied by JAP and Villiers, which went from 172-cubic-centimeter single-cylinders all the way up to 670-cubic-centimeter V-twin racing units. rnrnThough CWS never produced marketing materials that touted the superior racing capabilities of its products, in the great tradition of all self-powered means of conveyance, these CWS Federation Lightweights were almost immediately entered in road-racing events across Britain and Ireland, where they enjoyed considerable success.rnrnPresented here is an attractive and rare specimen of the CWS Federation brand. Based on the serial number of its 350-cubic-centimeter, side-valve J.A. Prestwich engine, this Lightweight model is believed to have been produced for the 1928 model year. A correct-type two-speed Borman gearbox funnels power via a chain to the rear wire wheel. The motorcycle's front and rear fenders are, rather interestingly, still fitted with a pair of UK registration plates of the correct and very early dateless style.rnrnThis Federation 350 is desirably equipped with front and rear carbide lamps, which offer superb visibility. The front of the bike is particularly well considered, as the rider is insulated from harsh vibrations by a set of biflex-style forks and protected from debris kicked up during a jaunt on a backroad by way of the front fender's integrated mudguard. rnrnVery few surviving examples from CWS Federation are to be found outside the United Kingdom, making this handsome 350 side-valve Lightweight a tremendous opportunity to acquire a rarely seen model from one of Britain's earliest and most ubiquitous motorcycle manufacturers.rnTo view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM Sotheby's website.
