Finally riding a big boys bike
Not a barn find as in my populatedarea there are not to many barns, more of a shed find while hunting for Stingray bikes and parts. I have sold about 6 bikes on here the last 6 weeks and really appreciate the help in telling me what I had and a price range for the bikes. So please do not be afraid to tell me what is wrong with the bike, and correct me if I am wrong in what I think this is, the more I can tell a buyer about the bike either good or bad the better.
Serial # starts with a B5, so a Feb 1955. Women's Panther. Has the locking front fork which I think came on this bike starting in 1955. Key says Schwinn on it and it does lock and unlock forks. Looks like no horn and newer parts inside tank, button seems to work. Light I put batteries in, did not work, looks like it should, switch works. Paint looks all original but is weak, and chrome is pitted. Original seat is good shape. Front hub says Schwinn Approved on it, rear has a new departure brake arm. Wheels. are stamped S2's, but are so nice, almost like new so perhaps not original to the bike, but spokes are worn, and also has some real nice made in USA Carlisle Lightning Dart tires on it. Fenders have some dings, bad chrome. Bike rides real well. So I can only make a guess as to value, maybe $300-$500. Any input on price and the bike in general would be helpful to me and any potential buyer's. Thanks.

Thanks, so did they have locking forks in 1952 and 53 on the women's Panther. Any idea if this is a 52 or 53. Any idea of value. I notice on here people are hesitant to suggest a value when an owner asks for help. As long as it is a fairly educated guess I am not that thin skinned and can take it, maybe only a $150 bike, maybe a $600 bike. More estimates the better. Thanks.
