Where would I find a serial #?
I also have a Monark Silver King,

Yes, Lack's Auto Supply sold them. Lacks opened up in the 30's. They sold at least four different brands of bikes. The sister stores are still in business today. They are a furniture chain, that was started by a family member of Sam Lack, the fellow that started the Auto Supply Chain. I think it was his son in law, don't hold me to that. Barry

I don't know CWC bikes, but would guess the serial number, to be under the lower bracket?

Yep like I said before turn it over and look at the bottom of the crank hanger. V/r Shawn

Funky ladies Hawthorne. Looks Snyder built, but fork shaped to mimic a CWC fork, as is the tank.

I’d be glad to take that girls Schwinn off your hands if you want to part with it. Nice finds! Let the addiction begin!

Btw I’m digging that kickstand!

Who was Lack, or what was Lack like?

Along with Schwinn and Shelby, they also sold Manarch and Raleigh bicycles. They stopped selling bikes in the early 1970's.

That's a nice Silver King.

I agree, nice silver king with some value, plus the rear rack of the ladies Schwinn has a ton of value because its prewar!
