Sand Blasted Bike

[bakerv]

My husband bought a 1974 Dodge truck and in the bed was a old rusted bike. In ignorance, I had it sand blasted and removed some of the distinguishing features. Does anyone know what brand of bike this is?

Nope--like Krakatoa said--Post War I'm guessing '51ish or so. V/r Shawn

Was it blasted without being taken apart?

 

[bakerv]

Yes it was; my ignorance because it had been in the back of an old truck totally rusted.

The bike shops in town said to make it into a flower bed.

The bike shops were correct in their assessment of the bike. Roger

The Cw stamp was used from 47-49, so I would say this is a late 47, early 48. 1950-51 would have the ACw stamp.

I wouldn't throw this in the garden, it has some good parts on it and the metal doesn't look pitted (except the rims)
