Two new finds....

I picked up these two bikes, but not sure what year on the Schwinn cause it has numbers on the crank hub and drop out for the rear tire. The hub has BPD3655 and the drop out has D58262. The other is a Roadmaster, and I'm guessing Elgin made it?? the serial number on it is A37255 then 540 below it

The Schwinn is August 1952. The Roady is a 54, the "54O" is probably 54Cw, with the small w inside the C. And Elgin was only a badge name used by Sears, built mostly by Westfield until 1938, and Murray until WW2. The name was retired shortly after the war, and Sears' sporting goods line was all renamed "JC Higgins". Now you know! :mrgreen: -Adam
