38 Hawthorne 5 Bar

[1918 Ranger]

Found this on eBay for 50 buy it now. It had one long distant pic leaned up against a tree.
All I could tell was it had a straight down tube so I knew it was prewar and I could see the long springer seat.
I jumped on it and got it in. It had cheap freight too. When I opened the box I saw dual top tubes and dual down tubes. Had never seen one like it. Through searching and help here and there I found that it was Hawthorne's late 30s "5 Bar". As it's called. Built by Monark This one around a 1938. We restored it complete. Don't see many like it. A unique and beautiful frame style.

Sweet bike, do you know anything more about it? Seems rare, can you say? What about value in various conditions?

Thanks!

To my knowledge pretty rare. I had a NBHAA report done by Leon Dixon on it and I can go back and find some info from his findings.

Great bike. This one's not a Monark, but is a Snyder.
