:lol: :lol: :lol: 8) :!:
My first barn find! Looks like she will clean up nicely with only minor surface rust. Any guesses on the year?

Happy Friday everyone

Sears' whole sporting goods line was called JC Higgins at one point! There's even some JCH luggage out there! :lol: -Adam

The frame really has some nice lines to it. Is that a "straight bar" Higgins? :lol:

I had a .22 rifle marked J.C. Higgins. There is some cool old stuff marked with this out there. I'd love to find one of those old plaid JC Higgins cooler/ice chests and mount it on a bike.

Not to get too far off topic with that subject, but since we're there anyway, I went through an old building being used as a warehouse today... and came across an Elgin! Yah, a 1940's Elgin outboard motor! Talk about crazy finds. There was an aluminum 90's cruiser bike called a Shakalaka too... that was weird but cool.

I got my first fishing pole in 1961. It's an orange fiberglas J.C. Higgins and I still have it. It needs restored just like a '61 bike would. Gary
