24 inch Hawthorne and a cool clip light

[dragnusa]

Was driving by a local junk store today and seen this girls 24 inch hawthorne sitting in front of the it so I stopped in and while I was asking about the bike I spotted a cool little light stuck on a shelf with some other junk. I ended up walking out with both for $20.

Probably wouldnt have popped on the bike but I have a friend thats really been wanting a cool old cruiser that wouldnt cost much
Dont know much about it but It says DELTA across the top
the bottom of the clip reads DELTA elect co. marion ind made in the usa

The light is actually a WWII Life Preserver Light called a Delta A-2050-P light.

Dragnusa is absolutely correct ! , I've been told by a few vets that they would also clip them on their vest while working on the decks of aircraft carriers at night , especially in bad weather

We had the orange strobe light when I worked on the flight deck so finding something they used in the past doing the same job is pretty cool to me. Thinking I may have found the first part to next years build off bike.

Nice finds, I have the Rollfast 24 but it was spray bombed over everything on it and it looked like it was on it's side for a long time with bad chrome on the wheels & stuff.

Right now I have 2 24 inch girls cruisers 2 26 inch girls cruisers and a 26 in mixtie as projects but this is the closest to being on the road. I swapped the seat out already. The white seat looks so tiny compared to the one I put on it.
