Hi there everyone! Just wondering if anyone could help me date/figure out the manufacturer of this bicycle? I've found myself the owner of my Mother's childhood bicycle, rescued from my Grandmother's garage as she moved.
Looks like it might be circa 1961 (most likely older - late 1950s) from the Bike License sticker attached to it? (the original one!) It has a Firestone badge on it, but from my preliminary searches around online and lurking here in the CABE forums, it looks like this was likely built by some other manufacturer using the Firestone badge.
Can anyone tell me where I should be looking for serial numbers or identification marks or what in catalogs? I'm hoping to make a restoration/modification so that I can take it for a ride. I can take more pictures, but right now it's in pieces on my garage floor as I've been making repairs/cleaning it up and swapping out a few parts. Any help would be most appreciated!
