Also got this metal body Roll fast Speedo with a plastic lense....age? Value?

That looks like an early 50's J. C. Higgins fork. It's still sears, but they had changed the name from Elgin to J. C. Higgins by the 1950's.

I sold one last year for $200.00. The paint was original, but the chrome had bee redone. Barry

Thanks man - Wow, that was quick.....bummer, not an Elgin....guess I'll just flip it, maybe Rat it..... overall it's a pretty cool looking springer.

How about the Speedo, any thoughts on that? Year, value?

Hi Barto,
I just did a search for Rollfast Speedo; at least 7 of that type came up.
