Hey all. Need a little help with this Hawthorne. Seller told me it was a '39 so I'm just looking for some more info. Serial looks to be D24743. What do ya all think?
Yep the serial is D24743If ya look on the underside of the BB there will be a serial #. Post it up here and I am sure we can narrow it down. Thats a great bike I have a couple similar and all ride well. I am guessing the serial starts with C or a D.
Oh I didnt know that. CoolI've heard if the rear fender bridge is curved, it's Snyder, but a straight bridge is CWC, like yours.
I have 53 CWC with that chainwheel. So maybe it was changed out at some point with later model set up.The cranks are a lot shinier than the chain wheel too. I wonder if they had a cog that fit the original rear hub.
Wouldn't a Hawthorne have had this chain wheel?

Still takes nothing away from a great old bike!
I really appreciate all the info. ThanksWith that serial I would say it is late 38 or 39. I think the seat,fork, bars and stem are from a later bike.
