I recently picked these up and was wondering if anyone could give me some info on the years and possible the makers of these fine machines
First the Century it does say D.P. Harris on the badge its pretty rough but all I did is through some matching wheels on it and I'm going to ride it like it is

Second is a Goodyear Wings Marathon looks like a CWC frame but I'm not sure it does have a cool looking tank that I've never seen before

The century was made by Snyder, who built bikes for DP Harris, including Harris' main badge, rollfast. Probably 1947-55. The Goodyear has me scratching my head. Most were made by Colson or Westfield/Columbia, and yours doesn't look much like either. Almost looks like Huffman, but they were involved with Firestone. Could be a CWC, I bet Phil will know, he has the Eagle Eye for seeing the very subtle differences in these old frames!! -Adam
 
Is there a town nearby named Newton? Maybe they would have record of the bike licenses. #238.
