Several companies made bikes for Firestone. Yours has a Murray of Ohio sprocket and is probably made by them.

Murray only briefly built these, around 48-50. I have one that was originally black & orange.

It should have a code on the BB, like 'MOT' or something which can pin down the year. -Adam

Cool find! :P
Wake up every morning wondering what new bike I'll find!
If you don't have pics, it probably didn't happen!
