A friend of mine knows I’m into building bikes, so he brought these to me at a local swap meet this past weekend. No idea of manufacture or age, but I would assume pre WWII
A couple of frames I picked up at a local swap meet

Both frames have the sweet heart sprockets for skip tooth chain. The one without the seat has a really short fork stem. The seat framed one has a welded fork but a really good sprung seat.
The second one looks Schwinn built to me...the first doesn't ring any bells.
For now they will find a place in my garage attic. Eventually I want to use the seat and handlebars off of the second frame on the first frame. I have the steel wheels and manual 2 speed hub from my sisters 59 Huffy, I think this will make a cool ride. But first I need to finish my build off entry.
You should stick a 26" wheel on the rears to see if they are ballooner or 28" frames.
I will when I get the current build done.? I also have a Shelby from around 1945 that my dad-in law got new when he was about 12. I want to restore it as well. So many projects, I can’t wait to retire so I have time to play.
Amen to that!
