Wish sites like the CABE were around back when our kids were transitioning from trikes to bikes back in the early 1990s. I would have loved to get them a couple of these older, well made sidewalk bicycles instead of the Made-in-Taiwan 20" bikes I ended up getting from the Sears catalog. Though I can't really complain. The bikes did hold up well, however, and I still have them.

Neat looking little 16"-er.

I think it depends on the year. '51 -'53 is a Bantam. '54 is Spitfire. Boys bikes were red, and girls were blue.
 
Looking at my notes from researching these a few years ago, these were made from '51-'54. No 16" bikes for '55 and '56, then Pixie from '57 on which has the removable bar.
