1950's Girls Springer Hornet...I Need A Price Check To Purchase, Please!

[HARPO]

OK, a friend is selling this and giving me "first right of refusal". I already warned my wife I might be buying another bike...

He's not sure what he wants or what it's worth (though he saw someone asking $400 for one on ebay sans the springer fork).

What do you guys think is a fair price? Appears to only be missing the headlight.

I told him I'd let him know tonight or tomorrow morning...

@vincev Any idea??? ALL original, right down to the tires that are shot...

3-400 range no brainer...

COOL COLOR COMBINATION ON THAT ONE

I'm picking it up in the morning...... Can't wait!!!

S-7 rims? Either way, I would be in at 300. 350 tops. Not an educated assumption, just what I would personally pay. It is a decent looking ride!

I'm getting it for less. He's giving me a great deal on it!!

I'll post photos at some point tomorrow...

I didn't take note of the Serial number (which I will tomorrow), but I assume it's a 1955 model from the Catalog page.

@HARPO Take a look at the difference in where the pivot bolt attaches to the fork. The one that youre getting goes directly through the fork, the one in the illustration goes through a boss on the back of the fork. I'm guessing 1957 or later.

@Rivnut Boy, you guys really know the smallest of details!! If it's a 1958 model (see attached), then I won't need a Rocket Ray headlight. BUT...it doesn't show a Springer fork...and the one I'm buying is two-tone.
