45-47 Huffman is H followed by 6 digits. Last number of year serial numbers started in 47. So it's a 45-47. I don't know if they started with zero so the sequence number may not be a good indicator of when it was built. Could be June of 45.

Old bottom bracket repair. Not very square. I'll have to throw some parts at it to see how it functions.

That's the right chain ring for an Elgin.
Thanks, the fork is also Elgin. I'll need to cut it down some.
Some Elgin mockup
Thanks!
Brought home two more piles of Schwinn parts:
I think that particular style of (yellow) frame looks so cool as a klunker or bmx'er.

Rattus All Terrainus
Camelbacks are awesome for that, the curved top tube is so cool looking
Schwinn yard art rescue:
While I'm on the subject, I brought this home today. According the owner, it had belonged to his father and spent the last 40 years in a barn. The condition of the rims back up his testimony. Pretty crusty but not pitted.
I just realized that my backdrop isn't the best for viewing bicycles. Maybe next time.

Great finds! I've never seen a light like that one.
I don't think it's a light. Just something that someone decided to use for a fender ornament?
I assume that it will be full of mud daubers just like both fenders

After a quick bath:
Huffy built Western Flyer.
Bike inspector couldn't find a serial #. Definitely none on bottom bracket, will need to do more cleaning on dropouts.
