This is the first light of day this old girl has seen since about 1975. Any info provided would be appreciated. I was told that the red front tire is WWII vintage (no rubber?).

It needs a LOT of work, but could be a real head turner when done. A full on restoration can cost big dollars, but this bike appears pretty original even to the wasted tires, my guess the front has more of a chance to be original than the rear. Love the front fork. To get the most for this you need two balloon collectors to want it at the SAME time.

Starting to get some info. Looks very similar to this '41 Hawthorne with 'springer style' front fork.
