1931 - 1940 Hawthorne

(Click for full photo)


1931 - 1940 Hawthorne 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.

(Click for full photo)


1952 Hercules There are many special things in this bicycle. This Hercules has a dual bar to offer a higher level of safety and ruggedness. It comes with a Hercules 3-speed gearbox much like the Sturmey-Archer. Notice the weight balancing special brass bumper in the front of the bicycle. There is also a unique Hercules wing logo on the front mudguard. The seat is an original leather Brookes, made in India. The seat spring tension is perfect for a really smooth ride - something a rider will not forget about this bicycle.
