That springer is Rare for a jc higgins.
sure looks nice in the pic
Happy for you. Sad for me. I had been looking for a Beehive since I started back on bikes. I found one last week and finally freed it from it's destroyed frame to find a bent steer tube. I could have ridden it as it was but decided to try and straighten it today. Collapsed the tube at the top in the threads. Treat yours right.

Weld a new steer tube on
That's the plan. Just took the wind of my sails to break it. You ever replaced a tube?

Stampings on the BB should start with something like MO and a letter, that letter tells the year. Next is 'MOD 502', a Murray code for a built for Sears bike. Then, likely the Sears model #, something like 215. Then the serial #. -Adam
