Pick up this Hawthorne bike fresh from an actual barn. Haven't researched it yet.

May be narrowed down to 1938 from Facebook Old Bikes Club input.

Nice!

I hosed the bike off when watering some plants late. Quite a bit of dirt came off, there's still some paint on there.

Dang dude, wait until you really get in there and clean it up, it's gonna pop like crazy.

Speed holes and a steering knob... It's gotta be the rare Ward's racer.

Cool find.

Just the right amount of patina staining.
But, you'd be amazed what a little WD40/0000 rundown will reveal.
Wow, this is a great find and one we all hope for. A true patina'd survior!

That thing is clean, in a rusty crusty kind of way .

Did a little exploratory cleaning. Might clean up fairy well. Will take a lot of time and effort...

Funny seeing those suicide knobs show up on bike handlebars. The Colorflow I had, had two of them. I guess they were good for holding newspaper bags.
