Sold '52 Rollfast ?frame

[coasterbrakejunkie1969]

I have what I believe is a 1952 Snyder built Rollfast 26 inch frame. It could be a Hop Along frame. I was told early on that it was a Wards Hawthorn. I could not get any WH head badges to line up with the holes. There are a bunch of different WH badges that I do not have. The Rollfast badge fits. It has a very odd sized seat post and one is included. I would like to get $75+ /NOW $65 shipped. Let me know if you need more pics. Truss fork not included

You're correct, it's a '52, made in the NY factory. If it is a Hawthorne, it would've had the blue & red 'crest' badge, fyi.

The desirable truss forks CWC? look about 15 years earlier.

How do you determine dates on a Rollfast?

During 1940, they began using the reverse date & factory code on the BB. A 1940 bike made in the Indiana factory would be stamped "04 EH". Bikes made in NY were stamped 'SN'. They continued this coding through 1958. In '59, they started with 'A' serial numbers, on the rear dropout. It's thought they did this through '69 before returning to A again, but details are sketchy.

Mine is a post war rat and my favorite rider!

For $65, I figure somebody would pay that for the forks...
