My First Prewar Hawthorne...I Think...

[tripple3]

It's Beautiful! It's BLUE! Department Store bike!
...it's a girl's....
i would guess $500
Standard C.A.B. (Girls) Exchange;
for a Non-Schwinn.
Guess based on history of sales i know of.

I purchaced my first girl bike today....I can't believe I did it??? | Classic Balloon Tire Bicycles 1933-1965

I'm guessing that's it's a 35 or 36 Hawthorne from the headbadge. My daughter just turned 8 buy she'll be riding this in no time at all. I'm sure I paid too much after shipping but it has great colors...I love darker blues.

I just brought home the exact same bicycle. Mine has been repainted and will take some gentle removal to uncover the serial number. Pretty sure my seat is wrong as well.

@tripple3 Yes...it's a girls bike, sadly. To bad, but it's the best one I've had like it over the years.

Time to start moving some of them along to good homes, though. I'll be doing a proper listing on a few of them, including the Lexington badged Schwinn I have (look for my old Post on it). Any and all will be needed to be picked up here on Long Island.
