I have a 50's 24" JC Higgins girls bike, the paint is rough, but it looks to be mostly there, I bought a rear rack and a murry tank for it from a member here, after some touch up or a repaint my daughter should have a cool bike when she grows out of her 20". The bike has the wrong grips I'm sure of it. They look like this but blue.

They are Western Flyer right? Thats a WF right?
I have a nice set of black Hunt-Wilde, and a set of coke bottle grips that I swiped/traded with a set of cracked schwinn grips off my stepmothers JC Higgins yard art when she wasnt looking. She wont let me have her bike. She wants it to rot.
Any way, did they use Hunt-Wilde back then?
This is a bad picture of the bike
