Saved a Couple of Old Ladies Today

[Bri-in-RI]

I walked into a used apliance store today looking to get rid of some stuff before I took it to scrap and found these. The owner had bought them with plans to clean them up and display in his store but instead he just left them outside for over a year. Traded him about $8 worth of scrap for them 8). Anybody have any ideas on the years? -Brian

The blue-white-rusty one is a Huffy Aeroflite or a derivative of one. It is a Higgins-type frame also. I bought one with a CWC springer on it. Not sure how that happened but I bought it! Year is probably early 50s with the skiptooth.

I scored a Huffman just like that last fall. Except mine didn't have the rear rack...

...or grips

... or truss rods

... or headlight

... and I had to give $20 for it :roll:

I thought the sprocket looked like a Murray, do you have a guess on the year? Im really digging this bike and can't wait to slap a set of tires on it and let the kid...and me...take it for a spin. Then it gets a lube, wash and polish and is ready for the summer.

Mine is regular pitch and its probably mid 50's, I would guess early 50's
