Deluxe Flyer

[Euphman06]

I came across this bike and don't know much about prewar stuff. Badge says Deluxe Flyer and has a picture of an eagle on it. I'm guessing agewise it's a late teens or twenties bike? If you know anything more about it please let me know, thanks!

Anybody? Is it possibly Schwinn built. Kind of looks like a schwinn b10e motobike but I'm not sure if schwinn badged deluxe flyer bikes?

I think I might have figured it out.. I think it's perhaps a Hawthorne Deluxe Flyer based on some pictures on the internet. If anyone else agrees or has any other opinions let me know, thanks!

Those are the hardest to figure out, most looked nearly identical! You may be on the right track with Hawthorne, or at least Snyder, who built most early hawthornes. Could be Shelby or Colson also. Looks to be in great shape though! -Adam

It has the same head badge as a Hawthorne deluxe flyer that I saw an article for online that's why I said Hawthorne. Picking this baby up tomorrow afternoon and the best part is I'm paying $100 for this bike complete (which was more than the asking price!) Can't wait 8)

Nice, those bars and that seat are worth about 250 themselves.
