I picked up this bike site unseen cheap. It’s got a lot going on here. Pretty sure not all original obviously and cheaply rattle canned painted.

I have plans and pretty sure I know what I want to with it. But any help what year frame it might be?? Or range of years?

Also I’m fairly sure the springer front end is not original to frame. Maybe schwinn? Or at least schwinn design?

Thanks all !

That's a 1951 Hawthorne, made by Snyder. Mongomery Wards didn't make the Hawthorne bikes. Snyder also made Rollfast bikes, same frame. They used a reverse serial number so the 15 is 51. The springer is probably aftermarket, it isn't Snyder.
Looks like you got a good deal.
