Those are space age lights. Believe it or not, people during that time were experimenting with Mary Jane and the owner was probably spaced out.

Well, it is a girls bike. Maybe she had great legs and liked to show them off at night? 😜

Great decals. Dynamite paint as well. Nice bike.

Is there anything I can do to make the decals clearer? Soapy water? Seems like the transparent part is yellowing.

Did you get the serial number?

For the yellowing decals I used Turtle Wax's polishing compound in the black bottle. Dab a little on a soft cloth and gentle rub it keeping the compound on the cloth wet. Cleans those browned wrap around seat tube decals on Schwinns pretty good too.

I leave them as is I like that look. Makes it look authentic.

Gotta try that trick - thanks

Serial Number - hmm 1954?

What is its value? Do I repack the bearings or just set it free? Do I keep the lights with it or sell separate?
