vintage bridgestone bicycle? ??
I moved into a house and in attic of garage was this bike it's obviously old and I'm assuming valuable cause this garage is filled with 68 jaguar, 1929 dodge coupe and several old triumph,Honda,husqvarna,and preston motorcycles from 60s and 70s....kinda a time capsule. .....it has some very odd brakes and gears but I've done some homework but could use any info someone may have as to year and value. .....content://media/external/file/6979

What size are the wheels?
Cool parts on the bike.
What's your location? I'll take the 1929 dodge coupe

I could be wrong, but I think that style of bike is from before Kabushiki-gaisha Burijisuton started putting the English name "Bridgestone" on any of their products.
If it is a real Bridgestone, someone who is really into that company might value it and be willing to restore it. But for the general bike riding and collecting community, I don't think it has much value.

Japan domestic model, most probably. 1953 headbadge according to the headbadge collection at the Bridgestone Museum Tokyo.

Did the seller leave the motorcycles and vehicles? What's the story behind that? As for the bike, not much value in girls bikes. There's a few exceptions but most collectors want men's bikes.
