Montgomery Ward Hawthorne Bicycle Serial Numbers

Hawthorne Not to be contradictory, but part of what was said is correct, part was not. Your frame and fork likely came together and are from about 41 to 47. They did come decked out with tanks, rack, a couple different headlights and a couple different chain guards. I have a 41 and it came with all these items. One of the members here has been in the process of gathering as many serial numbers and pic's as people will send in order to better date and document all the Cleveland Welding built bikes.
