Picked up a frame on Craigslist. It looks to be a JC Higgins Flightliner, or Sears. Has the typical pointed drop outs, dual top tubes, tank/ headlights is missing, serial is on left drop out. Has a Kome 1 super rear hub.
502 45201. 492872
There is two brads where a possible head badge once was on the head tube, they may be how the tank/ headlights mounted. IDK..
Hope you guys can give an idea of the age of this frame. Sorry no pics yet.
 
4520, or 45201, is part of the Sears catalog code. Sometimes, you can match the # with a specific year in the catalog. I took a quick look through my info, but didn't see that #. But, the Flightliner frame style dates from 58 through the late 60s. -Adam
