Monark / J.C. Higgins 24" Chainguard (Top Dollar)

[Avanti]

Looking for this chainguard, which came on 1956-1957 Monark Rocket 24" middleweight. It was also used on the J.C. Higgins 24" middleweight from the same time period. Any condition. Top dollar paid.

Can you post a better photo of what you are looking for?

I have this 24 inch JC Higgins guard but I have no idea if it is the one you are looking for.

I have that style as well.

That is the Murray version. I need the Monark version used exclusively on the middleweight 24" offered in 1956 /57 (just prior to the Huffy buy-out).

Here is the another period image from an ad showing the Higgins 24". The Monark version version would have had "Rocket" painted on it while the Higgins just had a "J.C. Higgins" script and nothing else.

Here is an image of the Monark Rocket version of the 24" middleweight. Notice "Rocket" script on chainguard.

Here is an example of the chainguard for a 16" J.C. Higgins. The 24" had the same shape - just longer.
