Late 40's, early 50's, maybe. Built by CWC. Post serial# (under BB) someone here can date it. Nice find!

Yeah, that's about the time frame I came up with. I would have posted the SN to begin with but I don't have it right off hand.. I am about two hours away from her! Too anxious to wait....lol! And thanks! It's amazing what you can find at a yard sale.

The blue & red badge came out in 1950. I can't see if the rear dropouts face rearward or forward, but CWC dropped the old style rear drops after 1954. Hawthorne did continue to use that winged tank decal through 1957. -Adam
