Trash or Treasure Montgomery Ward - Hawthorne No visible SN# Found

[bricycle]

well, you know a pizza can run from $7 to $27. She looks like you could air the tires and go for a nice spin. So she's a worthy bike, not junk... but probably not worth a flip to make $$.

I'd say ride-able yard art!, just put some tires on it and ride!

Trash or treasure? Before I repurpose this mid-century modern Montgomery Ward Hawthorne into a planter or yard-art I thought I best check with the experts to see if it has any value beyond “Objet d’art”. I looked closely for a serial number and only found the letters SE stamped on the left rear dropout. The head badge is metal and riveted on with the curious address of Chicago “7” , Ill. Seat, bars and rear rack all look OEM, but as you can see the front basket rack braces are still in place and all that remains of what may have been attachedView attachment 1362732

Does anyone have any idea of the age and value to collectors? Thanks for your help.

I would think this is a early to mid 60's Synder built bike, and as far as value goes maybe $75.00 -80.00 tops. Really not treasure, yet not trash either. Good luck and RideOn. Razin.

For $50-75 I myself have bought bikes to do something custom with! This would be a Good candidate for somebody to learn to work on, learn to bring back to original (we all have had some practice over the years) & or turn into a chopped up custom of your creativity without feeling bad.

I know the SEX CHANGE seems to be the rage these days, just a matter of finding the tank to do it. Always a viable option none the less. Always keep an open mind is my philosophy. To each his own. Just have fun with it. RideOn. Razin.

Even build your own; some sheet metal or even wood & this could be built into a board tracker on some 24" or 26 x1.75/2.125"+ tires with a few pieces of pipe & welding. Has ALL Kinds of potential ....

Like others said, a Snyder-built not treasure.
If I saw it in another's trash at curbside, I would leave it there.
