40's ??? Hawthorne

[garagegoon]

Not too keen on dating the Wards bikes... Just takin a shot in the dark saying its a 40's

Since picking the bike up i have rebuilt both ND hubs, made light work, added old leather bag and bell, added better grips, just gave it an over all cleaning and polishing

This is how it sits so far

Nice looking bike and...great looking bike stand. Can you please show more pics of the stand? Did you build it?
Thanks

Yes... the stand was a weekend project that my daughter and I worked on... teaching my 6yr old wood working...


Ingredients: One 1956 4x4
Two 1956 2x4's
Several decorative shelf angles
Handle off an old iron... this holds my shop rag
Antique brass tire pump... still works...
Antique coke bottle opener
Amber shellac

Your Swiss army knife/bike stand is great. It has all the bike builder's needs at their finger tips!
