Hawthorne Rat and a Nonpariel Speed

[Hanuman]

Got these in a trade for a VW decklid. The handle bars on both are peculiar. The Nonpariel's are about 32 inches wide. Any idea on the age of the set on the Hawthorne?

got some others, but didn't have time to get good pics, I will post when I do.

Let me know if you sell the Nonpariel, I need some if not all of it. You can keep the bars.

My good buddy found a picture of the Hawthorne's bars in an old Mead catalog. California bars!
