Zenith

[veewee25]

Picked this up today. Never heard of this brand before.
The head badge says Zenith " Serving the great northwest"

The rear dropouts and the whole rear stay section is almost identical to this other unknown frame I have.

What do you guys think?????

I was kind of expecting the bike to be black and white....

Both bikes are HP Snyder made. The house brand for Snyder was Rollfast, but they carried a number of different badges, one of the other most common being Montgomery Wards Hawthorne. I believe the second frame is newer than the first, like late 50's, possibly early 60's, and the other I would think more to be mid 50's. I'm sure someone else will be able to tell yuo for sure. Great finds! :mrgreen:
