Unknown Muscle Bike

This is for sale at a yard sale near me. Seller says the headbadge is too faded to read. This is the best photo they sent. Any idea what it is?

AM I seeing pointed Murray style rear dropouts?

I wonder what that thing under the seat is.

Rollfast, the chain ring and chain guard are giveaways. Might be a Hawthorne branded bike, but made by Snyder (Rollfast). Early 70's probably.

What he said. Rollfast or Hawthone.

Ok. Thanks all. He's wanting more than I'd be willing to pay for it so I'm passing on it. Was just curious as what I was.

Pay for it?! I might pick it up free from the trash, if the frame didn't seem rusted all the way thru.

That's why I'm passing on it. Too weathered for my liking.

Give it a month or two. After it sits rusting some more, he may let it go for 5 or 10 bucks.

 

[Chips_Mahoy]

That could be. I may still go look at it just for fun.

Nailed it

Wow that's rusty! You'd have to replace every part and hope the frame had enough integrity not to crumble!

Pay for it....

Some people.
