It looks familiar, I know I have seen the hearts crank somewhere before but I am drawing a blank. Definitely a nice find though.

I'd say it's a late 30's Hawthorne that someone put a schwinn sweetheart sprocket on and probably bent the truss rods so they removed them!
It appears to be a very early version of someones ratrod!
This is my 39 Hawthorne with a striking resemblance, right down to the sprocket and seat!

This is my 35 hawthorne that is a straight bar frame but it has the same seat post tightener!
The forks on that bike look like schwinn blade forks too.

Looks like we found it's rusty twin.

Upon further investigation it looks to be a schwinn B67. Around 1936!
