Any Opinions on this Bike?

[Drzdave58]

I’m considering picking up this Wards Hawthorne for $150. Any opinions on it would be appreciated. Not sure of year..maybe late 40’s? Thx

Looks post-war. Not a bad deal at all.

Looks like a good deal to me....

I'd buy it for that price...

Nice looking bike (which probably will clean up even nicer). I've been wanting a CWC - I'd totally pop at that price. I even like the sheepskin(?) saddle cover.

Post war as Mike said. Good price, nice bike. Curious about the striping though. Can't say I remember ever seeing factory striping like that.
