1951 Schwinn estate sale find

[Henry29]

I just picked this up this weekend at an estate sale, one of my all time favorite bikes. They said it belonged to to their uncle who worked for Mead Johnson and rode it to work, about 4 blocks from the house. I went back later and found his hat digging through boxes of old toys.

I plan to just clean it up and ride it this summer

And how much did you have to pay for that classic?

They were basically giving everything away for almost nothing, they said they needed it all gone. I offered them a lot more for it but they refused, they asked my plans for it and I said clean it, grease everything, and ride it. I don't plan on selling it. They wanted a $1 for the hat
