HARPO
Cruisin' on my Bluebird
Looks to be the predecessor to my Hawthorne Dolly Varden, which is a '35 or 6. Originally a dark blue.View attachment 1195261
Yes, the frame looks identical from what I can see. And besides missing the chain guard and drop stand, it's also missing a rear rack. Rear hub dates mine between 1927-1933, so yes, a predecessor to yours.
Aha! Then maybe the previous owner did repaint it in sections the original color. Nice to know that yours was a dark blue, and that back then they did make colors for a girls bike.
