Looking for the year of my Hawthorne

Hello,
I have posted this once before in the General Discussions, and it was answered as 'early 50's'.
I don't want to give up that easily -- I'd really like to know the year of my bike, if possible. Was much easier to find on my Western Flyer!
I have attached a photo of the serial numbers and a side profile of the bike and a blurry badge.

Serial number: A17286 and also a mark of AW, (w in a 'c' or a circle).

I'm still waiting for the bike to arrive, so this is it for photos.
Thanks for looking, and for any help :)

Missing truss rods and wise lock. Incorrect wheels, headlight, crank, pedals, chainguard (Colson shown), and seat. Fenders, frame, fork, and tank are correct The serial number on the BB is D88275. Phil has dated this to probably the first quarter of 1939

Can Anyone help me with this recent find? SN:J16987

This Bike was rusting away in a basement in Lakewood Ohio.
The Cleveland Welding Company Tag as well as the different Chain\sprocket Assembly caught my interest.
It is in need of a seat and chain guard.
I am curious as to why the downtube <?> welds appear to be of inferior quality, perhaps a conversion to a Girls bike?
I am interested in any information anyone can provide.
Dan

Not sure what happened to your bike but you appear to have a Murray chainring on it.

Thanks, I'd be happy to take the project on. I'll try to put some things together to build a framework for the project and post here early next week. (I'll have to stop answering questions for a few days and focus!) If anyone else has thoughts please post so we can get a good start.

Phil

Hi Phil, I recently purchased this Roadmaster at Copake. I figure it's mid to late 40's. The serial number is: C57614A then C with a W inside. It's Black & white with red pin striping. The tires, seat and bars are not original. What do you think? Any info. would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
 
Another request for info

I have this CWC Roadmaster that I’m looking to restore, but first I was hoping to find a little more info about it. It is a 26” bike with a skip tooth chain, serial number B00970 A0. I’ve read through this topic and I see some mention about different suffix, but I didn’t see anything specific about the A0 suffix(it looks like A0, but maybe the 0 is really the circled w).

The fenders, both front and rear have a hole at the top. I was guessing the front is for the light, but there is also a bracket on the headset, so if the light mounts on the headset bracket, why the fender hole? I have no idea what the hole on the top rear fender would be for. Thanks

Seiberling Cleveland Welding Frame?

Badged Seiberling. Photos tell the rest. Weird serial number/letter combination. I thought the letter was usually first? Any thoughts? Phil?
