I am not a Bike enthusiast, I'm an Antique Dealer. I recently purchased the contents of a barn. Included in that purchase are 4 Bikes. I know next to nothing about vintage bikes, so I need a lot of help.
The first, is a JC Higgins Sport flight. I have included some pictures of what I think will help you folks help me. It looks all original, but what do I Know. The tires are shot as it as been a barn for 20 years.
The only numbers I can find on the frame, are near where the rear tire is. The numbers on the left side is E 70392 and the right is marked C900 that is actually upside down when the bike is upright. If more pictures are needed let know. Thank in advance for the help.

I'm slightly confused by the photos. The bike pictured obviously has a coaster brake yet the last photo of the hub shows it to be an AW freewheel hub. Perhaps the AW is on one of the other bikes you found?

I notice the badge says "Made in Canada", so it's out of my wheelhouse, maybe manufactured by CCM? I've seen that style of frame before, somewhere. @Nashman might recognize it.

It's the same bike. Hard to say what had been done to it before I got it.

A thousand apologies, that hub is on a Raleigh. Here is the correct one

CCM was a Canadian bicycle manufacturer, it stands for Canada Cycle and Motor Co, Ltd. "J.C. Higgins" was a Sears brand, but Sears didn't build their own bikes, they let contracts with various manufacturers to supply them. CCM's aren't common here in the states, but search on this site and you'll find some posted by Canadian members.
