Need Help With I.D. on These

[pick]

Picked these up a couple of days ago. Not sure what they are. Neither has a headbadge on it. Boys bike is chrome 26" & has "Silver" something printed on chainguard, can't make out the rest of it. It has a schwinn seat, probably not original, nor are the bars. Front forks appear to have had strut rods on it at one time. Ser. # is P277348. Any help as to brand, year etc. is appreciated. I figure some of you experts will know!

Next one is this girls bike. It looks quite a bit older than the above. Ser. # E186326.

The boy's is an AMF , I have a chrome one just like it , I was actually working on it last night :mrgreen:

The chrome AMF is ultra cool as is....just need some new tires and maybe a new seat and you've got an instant Rat Rod. :mrgreen:

 

[dogdart]

interesting thing about those AMF's is the steer tube is longer than typical boy's bike , so a girls springer can be had for it on the cheap

Any Idea on the AMF year? 60's, 70's, 80's? :?:

 

[dogdart]

Early 60's , there was a thread on here somewhere dating that chainring.......

The AMF is a '58ish to '63ish. I was hoping one of the members here snapped those up. Great bikes.

probably a skylark or skyrider model

Silver Flyer. Western Flyer brand AMF Roadmaster. Made in Arkansas. I bought the chain guard for my AMF frame last year for the build off. The star sprocket was made until about 1963. Your frame looks to have a collar to tighten the seat stem, that would be early 60's, before that, the stem tightened like a handlebar stem, no collar on the frame.
