Looking for info on this bike

[shakershome1]

my daughter picked up this bike, I was told it might be Snyder, I have serial no. and an SE stamped on rear of frame, any help identifying the model and or year would be great

Note: the upper twin tubes and the straight tube from crank to headset, but no tubes in between
Thank You
Tim

The circle-SE is for Snyder Enterprises, and the serial number prefix might suggest a 1966–H bicycle, which looks to have a structural repair with the straight down tube?

Please Help Identify My Bicycle | General Discussion About Old Bicycles

I am new to the forum and I have recently purchased a vintage bicycle. Through internet research and basic observations I have been able to identify that the bicycle I purchased as a Hawthorne Montgomery Ward Bicycle with an emblem suggesting it's from the 50's. I am currently having trouble...

thecabe.com

Not sure if another main structural tube is missing?

Archie, Thank You for the info, The Bike itself does not seem to have any weld mark that would indicate a missing tube, but that does not mean there once was one, I have been stripping the paint in preparation to repaint it.
do you know when they stop using "NEW DEPARTMENT" for the coaster brake, this bike has one...thank you again

'66 Snyder. I have one, and that's how the frame was built. I believe it's in the Hawthorne catalog page around 1960. Mine has something like a cross between a tank and a big metal paper clip under the top tubes!

I don't, but there's a 'Collectable Elgin/JC Higgins/Hawthorne' book by Jim Hurd, the revised edition has the page. You might be able to get it through the Cabe bookstore, or Scott may know where to find one.

Thank you very much

Hello everyone, I have another bike I am looking for Info on, anyone with any info would be greatly appreciated, looks like it is a "CRUISE WAY"

 

[Archie Sturmer]

Looks like a 1990's Huffy Good vibrations beach cruiser; the date might be stamped on the Wald steering goose/swan-neck stem.

Huffy 6 speed causeway

Went to an estate sale and found this Huffy causeway mixed in among some lightweights and WM 20 inchers. Normally I don't go for the multispeed cruisers but other then needing grips and a seat its in really nice shape, and the $10 price tag didn't hurt either.
