Murray Ohio Mfg. Co. "Brentwood" Bike
A neighbour tossed five bikes and this was one of them.
Its got a label on the seat tube that says it was made by Murray Mfg. Co. "Brentwood" Bike made in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee.
Brentwood, Tenn. was the head office for Murray. (Wikipedia)
French and English warning label, so likely made for export to Canada.
Seat height is adjustable to three positions and moved nicely.
Any idea of the AGE of this relic ?
Any idea if it might be desirable ?

Are the wheels 18"? It might fetch $20 at a yard sale.

It could bring a ray of sunshine into a disadvantaged kids life. Looks to be in pretty good shape for a dept store bike.

That is a rad bike, who cares if it came from the dept store. Looking at it makes me want to do a wheelie.

I believe that Brentwood was a brand name for Woolco department stores. Over the years Woolco contracted many companies from Canada, the USA, and Asia to supply bicycles
