Wow thanks for the quick response. Not sure what to do with it yet. Do you have any idea how I can determine the year so I can look for parts if I go that route. Thanks again.

Ther is a serial number data base here on the forum , you can look it very easily.

Nice! The Cw on the serial shows what year it is, but I don't know exactly. It's a late 40's I believe. Mine was a 46/47, but didn't have the Cw on the number, so yours is probably a little younger, but before 1950 when the Cw had an A to the right of it. It will look great no matter what you build.

Just simply go to the top of your post and click on " bike I'd & evaluation and questions "
Ther you'll find the data base .

I didn't have a shred of original paint left on it when i got it. Hopefully yours will have some good paint under there.

I thought it was the same bike, but this Hawthorne is 32,464 bikes away from yours in the serial number, probably made the within the same month. In the post right next to yours to boot!

Absolutely it's all a learning process, we all have the power to just look up anything these days , remember, when in doubt check Google out . Lol .

Mine is a little older than yours.

Its a 1939 Roadmaster. The bar from the head tube to the bottom bracket on mine is straight, yours has a graceful curve. No paint left on mine either. One of the best riding bikes I own!
