I JUST PURCHASED THIS HAWTHORNE BIKE. IT HAS A BADGE ON THE FRONT THAT SAYS HAWTHORNE AT THE TOP AND MONTGOMERY WARD ON THE BOTTOM. IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT WRITING THERE IS A CREST WITH AN ~M~ AND A ~W~ DIAGONALLY POSITIONED AND CORWNS WITH A LIGHTINING BOLT THROUGH THEM ALSO DIAGONALLY POSITIONED. SOMEONE PAINTED THE WHOLE BIKE AND BADGE RED AND IT I SEE DARK GREEN PAINT UNDER THE CHIPS. THE HANDLE BARS SAY WESTERN FLYER. IF ANYONE KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT THE YEAR OR WHAT IS MISSING I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW.

WHEN WE MOVED TO A NEW HOME THE FORMER OWNER OF THE HOUSE LEFT A PIECE OF JUNK IN OUR BACKYARD. IT IS AN OLD RALEIGH BICYCLE WITH THE LICENSE PLATE DATED 1979-1980. I AM NOT SURE THE REAL MAKE AND MODEL FOR THIS BICYCLE. I AM PLANNING TO DO SOME RESTORATIONS AND I NEED YOUR COMMENTS ON THIS. I THINK THIS BICYCLE IS GOOD FOR PHOTOGRAPHY AS PROPS AND FOR CLASSIC FILMS. YOU CAN EMAIL ME AT CALEXISM@.COM
(NOTE THE FRONT DYNOHUB, LOCKING FORK AND BUTTERFLY KICKSTAND [ED.])

THIS IS A PICTURE OF MY FRIENDS BEAUTIFUL 1951 SCHWINN PANTHER GIRLS BIKE. THE SERIAL NUMBER IS H15891 AND IT IS COMPLETELY ORIGINAL, EXCEPT THERE IS NO CHAIN. THIS WAS HIS SISTERS BIKE AND WAS PURCHASED NEW, WAY BACK WHEN. HE RECENTLY DUG THE BIKE OUT OF THE STORAGE SHED AND ASKED HIS SISTER ABOUT IT. SHE SAID HE COULD HAVE IT IF HE WANTED IT! I STILL HAVE A LOT TO LEARN ABOUT THIS BIKE SO I CAN DESCRIBE IT PROPERLY. ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THIS BIKE WOULD BE GREAT! THANKS! OH YEAH, I TOOK THESE PICTURES OUTSIDE ON A NICE SUNNY DAY WITH A KODAK DC3400 DIGITAL CAMERA WITH NO FLASH. ALSO, THIS BIKE HAS SPENT ITS LIFE IN EASTERN WASHINGTON STATE WHERE IT IS VERY DRY. THERE IS VERY LITTLE RUST ON OUR OLD CARS AND BIKES! SINCERELY, J. WARREN
