You could be the proud owner of this vintage blue and grey Montgomery Ward Hawthorne ladies bicycle. This steel ladies bicycle was handmade in the U.S.A.

Hawthorne Bicycle was distributed by Montgomery Ward from 1934-1960 through their stores and catalog sales. These bikes were mainly produced by the Cleveland Welding Company. This bicycle features a tank that requires 2 D cell batteries to power the horn, a dual spring saddle, spring absorbing front end, front and rear fenders, a rear light that is built into the rear rack, turn signals in the rear rack as well as a brake light.

This bicycle is looking for a new home, and it could be yours. BIKE CONDITION: Bicycle has some chips in paint, we are currently unaware of the working condition of the lights, they may just need bulbs? This bicycle appears to be rideable, but we would recommend a tune up or safety check over by a qualified mechanic before riding. This bicycle is being sold as is, please see photographs for details. Measurements: Seat tube - 19' Top Tube - 23' Stand-over height - 15.5' Bike Weight - 40 plus pounds Specifications: Seatpost - No Specific marking Saddle - No specific marking, dual spring Stem - 60mm Handlebars- 54cm Brake calipers - New Departure coaster brake Crankset - Single Chainring Pedals - Torrington Hubs - 36 hole New Departure laced to 26' rims Serial #C46574 Reference # 152192.

I have quite a number of CWC (Cleveland Welding Company) frames and bicycles and all have been correctly dated and logged by a man that is accumulating CWC data in hopes of eventually having a website for it. Nowhere in CWC production is there a serial number with a 4 digit numerical suffix.

From 1935 to the late 1940s all serial numbers started with a single letter followed by a 5 digit number. Starting in 1948 suffixes were added to the same serial number arrangement starting with AC, ACW and CW. In 1952 the last two digits from the year of production followed a Cw suffix - i.e. Cw52 for 1952 and this lasted till the end of CWC production in 1956.

So I guess the long story is with that serial number it was not manufactured by CWC. Since this is the only company I collect that is all I can tell you.

Hope that helps a little.
