Thats is a wards hawthorne made by montgomery-wards

I thought it was a schwinn bike because the grips are schwinn. I really know nothing about old bikes I guess

 

[Markm]

you can never really go by grips or seats....or wheel or tires... :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
cool find nonetheless

Now that I looked at the pictures better it looks like a rollfast 8)

the rear rack is a Hawthorne for sure.....it looks to be of the same "patina" as the rest of the bike and you can still see some faint lettering....

Chainguard says hawthorne too.

All Rollfasts, and many Hawthornes were made by the same co., D.P. Harris/Snyder.~Adam
