Or you could do some research on your own to see what like items have sold for here and other places e. g. Copake, EBay, etc...

I got $300 for a stripped down but rideable 1930 Westfield, which I believe also made Hawthorne. Yours should be worth that at least. A set of tubular tires will run you that same price.

Thanks so much for the info! Now I have something to go on besides the last week of searching the web and the bay ect.

I have 1930's Westfield Hawthorne also. The 1st pictured appears to be Snyder built Hawthorne, with the star chain ring.
What is the bike worth - it depends. What are the special parts worth, probably a lot more than the bike.
Let us think about the math, ~$200 for the McCauley tank, $ for long spring seat, post, clamp screw; $ for cross-bar handle bar, stem, fork; $ for off-brand klaxon, light; $ for non-truss fork, frame; $ for fenders, braces; $ for special wood wheels, rims, spokes, or hubs (peculiar front); $ for skip-link chain, sprockets, cranks, $ for basket. Well, I hope how you can see that it does not all add up. Did you say free shipping?
Oh wait, I see the 2 truss rods are there; add some $ each; and pedals too.

Part of the problem for me and maybe others are the pictures; there’s not a lot to go on. Here’s my best guess on eBay pricing: If the klaxon horn is good that’s worth $80-100, the light maybe $60-80 or more depending on model & condition, the tank (if no holes and you have both sides) maybe $150 or more?? The rest (frame,wheels, seat frame,etc.) I’d guess $300-$325,depending on condition, if sold as a whole bike w/o those accessories. Just my opinion based on your photos.

Maybe somewhere to start your research:
I have a 20’s motobike with that sprocket and it’s badged a Rollfast. Here’s another motobike with that sprocket noted as an HP Snyder: http://www.nostalgic.net/bicycle518

$300 for a stripped down is about right. Like Archie said that tank will net you 2 C notes. That sucker is a little gold mine.
