I have one very similar to this one

Not my pic and was wondering how old it was and could begin pricing it
Thanks!

Not going to get much action in this thread without good pics of your own bike.

Value is all about condition, so without a picture, its anyone's guess. Low end department store bikes (Sears) tend to have very little value.

Puch made some bikes for Sears that were pretty nice, and a tandem is worth something even if it's a Huffy. The headbadge is the same as the Puch made Sears 3-speed I have, check and see if there is anything that says the bike was made in Austria.
Actually, my Puch/Sears had a lugged frame and cottered cranks, so this might not be that special.
