Yard art find today

[falconer]

So with these longer days, i decided to cruise the hood before garbage day to see what i could find. Happened past a house with this bike as yard art! You know i was going to knock on that door! Lady answered and i asked if she wanted to sell the bike. I told her i collected them. Said it was her husbands and he probably wouldnt sell but she would ask. Well, he said, he ABSOLUTELY would sell. Story was it was in his fathers attic when he passed and wasnt attached to it. J C Higgins Regal, original paint and tires, one REAL bad. Needs a few things, that front seat spring being one. Probly coulda got real cheap, but feeling generous offered him a hundred which he said FINE

Love it! Look at those beautiful painted rims. Amazing! Bargain at $100. That headbadge is sweet too, like 3D.

Thought that I recently saw an almost matching patina Murray tank (not mine) available on an online auction site.

Bob, thanks for the offer. Realized i had a girls seat with correct spring. Had to cannibalize it
