JC Higgins ???

[Georgeediii]

This showed up on CL this morning so I went over and swooped it up. The seller thought it was a JC Higgins from the early 60's. Probabaly right but there is no headbadge and it has Schwinn Typhoon Cord tires that appear to be original. The rear dropouts look like a Murry built bike.

Its funny how much I hate modern reflectors, but I really love that this bike has reflectors everywhere. My second bike in 2 weeks with hub-shiners.

If anybody knows what the light or ornament missing from the front fender or what the headbadge should look like, please clue me in.

Not really sure what it is but it is cool.

After taking it for a spin this afternoon itI realized that there were some striking similaritys to the lady's Sears bike I picked up earlier in the week. Same cranks, chainguards, racks, forks and dropouts. The tanks are not exactly the same but are kind of close.

I think these two were meant to be together.

It's a Murray of some sort at least. Does it have a serial number?

I had one almost identical to that girl's bike but mine didn't have a tank.

Its on the left rear dropout. MOU 20x11. The hub is a Bendix 76 Mexico 0059.
