Definitely 50's made by Murray and yes the serial number would help date it. There some here with Western Auto catalogs to help out.

Numbers are....

35 X 10
MOU
129190

A 24" girls bike. Not much you can do with that little thing. Find a 24" girl and give it to her. Gary

They are awesome for using the front half of the frames for stretches and the wheels are awesome if someone wanted to put thick bricks on their bikes.

So far the list for her bike includes...

Repaint - Sparkle Blue w/ Sparkle White
Rechrome - Handles, Wheels, Cranks, Chainring, Ect...

Felt Quick Bricks

Then this seat in either white or color below with matching handle grips...

It will take a while with my money focused else where the next few months building my bike but it will get done and done right when we can.

That's not "Restoring" it, that's "Customizing" it. Don't get me wrong, it'll make it a cool rider for her. Have a great time, you two! 8)

That new seat is nice. The old seat is nice too, since it is a boys seat. Someone will want that for a boys bike for sure. Gary

 

[Colyn.]

I'm keeping the seat for myself or a future build maybe... might recover it or leave it just like it it.... I was gonna get her a Brooks seat but she doesn't like them.

I found another one..... from the looks I think its a 80's model 26" women's bike but well see here are some pics it has quite a bit of natural Patina. I like it just needs different/new tires, tubes and maybe some TLC and a older seat.....

Is the year on that little sticker that says 11/80 or do I need to check vin number?

How do you tell a boys seat from a girls? Please.

A girls seat looks like it would pretty much fit in a square box. A boys seat wouldn't.
