Indian & hawthorne girls bikes

[dragnusa]

How collectable are Indian & hawthorne girls bikes? where I got my last 2 bikes (which was the only 2 boys bikes he had) the guy had a Indian girls bike and atleast one hawthorne badged skip tooth girls bike and another skip tooth girls bike with no badge that looked alot like the hawthorne badged one.

Normally girl's bikes are only worth the sum of their parts. As long as he's not asking ridiculous prices I'd get them just for the nostalgia factor.

I think you need to define Indian... What exactly do you mean???

Highship, I mean its a Indian badged bicycle dont know any years of the bikes other then them being cruiser bikes. the guys pretty strange he will let me look at them if I plan to buy something but wont let me take pics. He gave me prices on the 2 skip tooths which arent badly priced but have to clear out some of my sell bikes before I can buy any more ( hardly have room to move in the shop as is)

I only know of two different Indians that are ladys bikes (that's not to say there are not more). One is an Indian, as in Indian Motorcycle and the other is an Indian Princess. The Indian Princess looks like any of your 60's-70's English girls bikes and an Indian from the motorcycle company would look more like a 20's-30's balooner; most likely would have wood or clad wheels and skip tooth drive. If it's an Indian from the motorcycle company then it is very collectable and worth a fair amount of scratch. If it is the English style one then I have a couple I would sell for about $50.

Do you have a pic of your indian princess the whole bike and the head badge? I remember it having Indian in the motorcycle indian script but dont remember it saying princess on it.
