I just got these three and would like some help with age and Manufacturer.
Hawthorn skiptooth double bar. Brass head badge. Only number I can find is 74EH on the BB.
Hawthorn skiptooth double bar. Gothic fenders, brass headbadge, no handlebars, interesting rack, F31148 on the BB. Tires and wheels junk.
Western Flyer on the head badge and faintly on the tank. NOT skiptooth, no bells or horns in tank, cannot find a number anywhere! Rusty and rough.
Any advice and I.D. help is appreciated. I'm a relatively new collector, but like many of you, I am already addicted to the hunt for old bikes. I have sold very little, and have never parted a bike out, but probably don't have room to keep these. The Western Flyer is pretty rough, but it kinda goes against my love of old two-wheelers to take it apart.
Would anyone ever want a complete bike this rusty? Thanks!
