Simple little girls bike

20$ yard sale find today, seat, headbadge and chain are missing. It has painted rims with pin stripes, I'll post more pictures and details when I get home. The chrome chain guard is pretty cool.

1960's Huffy.

Thank you! Chain guard appears to be a universal replacement type with multiple mounting holes but it's pretty cool for what it is.

Would make a good garden bike!

From the look of the wheels it might of already been a garden bike at one time or another.

While not valuable, this is unique. Murray had a strike in the mid 1950's, and Sears had to turn to a European manufacturer at the last minute to produce JC Higgins bicycles until the strike at Murray ended.

Great information I had no idea he will be interested to know because he's my steward in the USW and we know all the things that happen during a strike!

That's interesting! I thought one of the reasons Schwinn moved production to Lawrenceburg after they shut down Chicago (besides the fact that Giant needed time before they could produce the numbers needed) was that Lawrenceburg was non-union. Evidently there's more to it than I realized!
