Picked this up on Friday. I believe it is a JC Higgins although it has Western Flyer grips on it. I'm thinking new tires and chain, repack or replace bearings throughout an d call it a finished ratrod.

Is something missing from these pedals?

It would look super cool with the crank and chain all polished up but everything else all rusty! How much did u pay for that anyway?!
 
I realized that I already had a bike like this one in my pile. I dug it out.

The frame on old #1 appears to have been chrome ( or nickel?) plated.
 
Awesome, yours has a different tank than my two. Mine are JC Higgins and sold by Sears still has the little Sears sticker on the head tube.
