Hi Mike!
My son was helping an elderly woman with her property maintenance, and out of the blue she asked him if he would like a bicycle or not. Its a 1938 Hiawatha Arrow. I'm amazed that it has a headlight built into it! What do you think it is worth?
Thanks,
Steve

BicyclesThe precursor to the modern-day bicycle was the 1817 Draisine, named for it…
This bike is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!
hope you are going to restore it.
Not sure what you'd get for it these days but not so long ago it was a $7-$10,000.00 bike! Check ebay. You'll see one there from time to time...
That $7-$10,000 would be for a nice original with good paint or for a nicely restored original. Your bike looks complete but the paint and chrome are weak.
Are you looking to get this bike restored?? It looks really cool? I would love to find out more about this bike!

These bikes were made by Shelby but were sold as their own brand through the Gambles Hardware and Auto Supply stores. It's basically the same bike as the Shelby Air-Flo. Google it!
It's only original once, I would leave it alone. But if you do a restoration do it right the first time . Beautiful bicycle.
wow I would for her for months on end for that bike lol
watch that Jill P. she put the same comment on several items, sound like trouble !
Would this bike be for sale? Email me.
If this bike is for sale email me please. I just posted above as Chris but didn't set up my username yet. thanks!
Is that a 20" bike?That front fender ornament is probably worth a bunch!
a restored one sold in 2007 for $4995.00, another one that was described as having an older repaint, that included covering all the chrome sold for $1,500. I would think yours in the original unrestored state would be somewhere in between. These were both 1939 models.
http://cgi.ebay.com/110676538224 Thought you'd like this...
Yes. Except that this bicycle is a 1940 model, not 1938.
How much?? Email Me
Very cool bike check out my all original 1949 Streamliner and let me know what you think. Thanks, Kevin
