Elgin Bicycle Serial Number Chart
Schwinn Serial Number Info. Example: F1T20404 = June, 1981. Imported Schwinn serial sequences depend upon country of origin. Bicycles from Japan have a production month letter in either the first or second position and a production year number in the other (first or second) position. Examples: J677123 = September, 1976. Watch Sizes There are a number of different systems of measuring the size of a watch. Which system you should use depends on who made the watch and who you are talking to. In all the systems, the greater the number, the larger the watch. Elgin almost always used the Lancashire gauge, so it will be described in the most detail. Best Answer: JC Higgins was built by Elgin pre WW2, then by Huffy (Huffman Bicycle Company) afterwards. Unfortunately, there is no real rhyme or reason to the serial numbers as a year identifier, so you'll have to go by pictures and components. From the looks of the number it is a Huffy.
Old Antique ELGIN Bicycle Sears, Roebuck & Co.Model # 501-167. First off I would like to say it is a really neat looking bike however I am not a bike dealer so I do not know too much about bicycles. So As Is. It is missing an ELGIN handle grip. The seat measures 12' long by 10' wide and is marked ELGIN. (Please look at the seat picture it does have wear) One spoke in the back tire is wrapped around another spoke. (maybe could be straighten and reset) T is some rust to the bike and chrome. The worst is the front fender with the light. The rest seems to be some light surface rust which a good cleaning would probably take care of some. I tried to show a lot of pictures. If you like more pictures I would be happy to email them. The tires are 26' and are marked Allstate Crusader . The back tire has air in it. The front tire is flat. I do not have an air compressor so I am not sure if it would hold air. They do look old enough to be original to the bicycle. One of the two leather straps with are broken on the basket. With Some Time, Effort And Elbow Grease This Would An Awesome Antique Bicycle.
