About 1964-5 to the early 1970s to be exact. The chainguard is the evolution of the Montgomery Wards Hawthorne and several Rollfasts were produced for DP Harris over the years, since about the 1920s? by arrangement with HP Snyder. Snyder made some, and a few frame styles seem to be shared between Western Flyer, Rollfast, Hawthorne, Columbia, and Ross. I believe Murray built my Flyer. I've worked on, rode several of these versions lately. Hard work and fun!

You have far too many vintage bicycles. Its great to see someone caring for them. I shall be acquiring a Raleigh Sports 3spd sometime within the next few years depending on my grandfathers health.
