Does this headlight belong on this model bike? If

[4scuda]

I can tell from paint that this headlight is not original to this bike but was wondering if it is correct to model of bike. It seems that I have seen more of a flatter sealed beam looking light on similar bikes. That being said I am not sure of mfg of this western flyer branded bike. The headlight has embossed wings on sides and I believe it is a pretty good piece. I’ll separate if it is not supposed to be on this bike.

I believe so

Thanks, nice advertisement. Can’t really tell from picture but it doesn’t seem like the one shown has the the convex lens. The light has a w embossed as well so it must be for western flyer

looks post war to me, i think this might be the one you're looking for

Emblem is the same but the lens and ring are different.

I’ll have to look to see if the tank has hole for wire to the light

This is a late 40's all original Huffman.
Your bike is an late 30's or early 40's Huffman.

Here’s a Western Auto ad from early summer 1941. Shows what appears to be the bike you have. The light does look rounded.

That looks like it. Thanks
