Huffman to Huffy
My conclusion according to the following huffy history from wikipidea is huffman changed to huffy in '49, and bikes were badged with the Various Huffy/Huffman headbadgeS until 1953 when it introduced its exclusively HUFFY headbadge...
The Huffy Corporation is an American importer and manufacturer of inexpensive mass-market bicycles. It has its roots in 1887 when George P. Huffman purchased the Davis Sewing Machine Company and moved its factory to Dayton, Ohio. They made their first bicycle in 1892.In 1924, George's son, Horace M. Huffman, Sr., founded the Huffman Manufacturing Company. From then until 1949, Huffy continued to manufacture and sell bicycles under the "Dayton" brand.
Early history
In 1949, Huffy developed the Huffy Convertible, a children's bicycle with rear training wheels and foot steps.The Convertible revolutionized the children's market and was the first Huffy bicycle under the Huffy name. In 1953, a Huffy logo was created and Huffy switched all its bicycles to the Huffy name. Popular models included the Special Roadster, the Racer, the LaFrance, and the Streamliner.
