Must be a very early version of the tank, with the horn in the left side. This would NOT be a correct tank for a Western Flyer Super of the 50's.

So the ad he is using for reference is wrong as I see the horn button on the left side of the tank. I have a super like that but was not sure of the years of the Supers. My question, is this ad from the 40's

The ad shows horn button top, right tank. The ad is from 1951. The eBay tank also lacks the slot on the top, right tank to accommodate the wire leading to the turn-signal switch.

View attachment 289250 The ad shows horn button top, right tank. The ad is from 1951. The eBay tank also lacks the slot on the top, right tank to accommodate the wire leading to the turn-signal switch.

OK Thanks glad to know that.

Another view, showing the slot for the wire to the switch. Same tank was used on early 50s Hawthorne "All-American" and Hiawatha "Chippewa" model bicycles. Hawthorne tank shown here.

OK Thanks glad to know that.
