ITEM
This vintage blue 1946 HAWTHORNE Ladies bike, was sold by Montgomery Ward\'s.
Its a classic skip tooth, 26 inch model, in its original blue paint.
This sale is for the complete bike, which carries serial number 64EH.
Cool parts include the fenders, sprockets, New Departure coaster brake, half of a fender light, seat base, etc.
It was found without a chain guard, and torpedo light top cover.
My research indicates it was a 1946 model, but I could be wrong?
It may also be manufactured by the Cleveland Welding Company or H.P. Snyder (makers of Rollfast bicycles).
I call it a pre war skip tooth because its likely the same as made before and during WWII ?
When was the last year for skiptooth bikes? Insults and comments are welcome!Condition
Lots of Patina on this find, and it may shine up with a good wax or shellac coating.
The front fork is bent at the stem to fork transition, and may be a simple fix?
The front fender has a tear at the fork screw hole, and a dent on the rear edge.
The front fender has a formed perch for the light.
The torpedo light is missing the top cover, but the lower half is worth saving and rebuildable.
I like the fenders for a boys bike restoration, they are pretty good overall.
The chain and sprockets are decent, and will clean up.
The rims will also cleanup.
Some surface rust on the handle bars, but not severe rust anywhere on the bike.Dimensions
