1926 Hawthorne Flyer

[Glassguy1965]

Hello everyone!! I am new here so hopefully I am posting this correctly. I have a barn find, a 1926 Hawthorne Flyer and not sure what the value of this bike is. I have exhausted Google's images on these bikes and I cannot find one like this one with the emblem on the front fender within Google anywhere!! Any help or information on this bike or the value of it would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance!!

The fender emblem is an add on, can you get a picture of the serial number on the bottom bracket and post it please. Welcome to the group!

Thank you for the welcome!! So, I'm assuming under the crank is where you are referring to? I have so much to learn!!

So I used a small soaked lacquer thinner rag, let it sit on the bracket for a few minutes, then gently scraped the loose paint and such off with a plastic chisel stick and this is what I found. It definitely appears that someone has already been here and used something rough on it already by the appearance of the scratches/scrapes. I see a partial number but that's it

Might be a 1932–T Snyder-built Hawthorne, with a double-tapped “T” on bottom bracket?

Very interesting . That would make perfect sense if so....I zeroed in on the only stamp on the bottom bracket. Here is a picture...
