The oldest it could be is 1958, when they introduced that twin bar "Swept Wing Frame". There are similar bikes in the '59 and 60 catalog pages, contained in the "Elgin/JC Higgins/Hawthorne" book, 60 is the last year shown in that book. Sometime in the early 60s, they changed to a round metal badge, and by the mid-later 60s, a decal. -Adam
