Huffman Everbest?

[Oilit]

This was listed locally on Craigslist, the bike is pretty basic but I was tempted just because of the paint. But somebody else took the plunge first, so these are the only pictures I have. The seller said it was Huffman-built, as far as he could tell. Does that look right?

Yes sir prewar Huffman, looks like a clean bike.

Lovely Huffman; will be a stunner with a little spic and span! Looks like a 1942.

Congratulations, Don! That paint has survived in amazing shape, it'll be a stunner when you're done!

1942? Interesting, I'd have expected a war-time bike to have a simpler paint job. It must have been early in the year before the war restrictions started.

Very sweet paint

Saw that one awhile back, very cool! Those have to be the longest darts ever!

Anyone have any idea where Everbest bikes were marketed?
