Look Ma, No Hands!
Greetings,
Can anyone confirm the claim that this is truly a pre war Hawthorne? Thanks.

That badge was first used in 1950. Looks to be Snyder (Rollfast) built, so it may have the 2 digit year stamped in reverse on the BB. I have a similar Hawthorne that I assumed was mid '50s, but it's stamped '05', making it a '50.

Thanks. That's very helpful. I was really hoping it was a decade older.
