Found a vintage Schwinn and Rollfast

Can someone please tell me the value of these old bikes. Found them on a farm. One is a Schwinn and the other is a Rollfast. Also any idea what year they might be. For some reason I can't post pictures but the serial numbers or whatever on the back of the frames by the tires say GB12168 on the Schwinn. J357189 on the Rollfast.
Thanks.

The Schwinn serial number, GB12168, indicates the frame was built in July, 1966. It's a mass-produced electroforged frame, and there were millions built, so they aren't particularly valuable. You might try browsing through the 1966 catalog to see if you can identify the model.

I can't help with the Rollfast.

Rollfast

I live in Minneapolis, and they are kinda common here. The company was in production for quite a while and produces many different models. I have a frame from what looks like the 1940s. I saw a 1960s model on CL for $40
