The wife is ready to throw it out of the living room before I hang it on the wall like a fine Picasso.

Thanks officialfuel, toolate2, and Signaholic. What a beautiful, last of the Huffman bike frames! Then again, from what I have read Huffman reused serial numbers. The first number should designate it as a 1949, but Huffman was changed to Huffy in 49. The serial number is on the seat clamp and is 9H081737. The bike has a little damage on the crank housing like it had suffered a drop and this might be the reason it was parted years ago. I have three other Huffmans as they are my favorite brand, though I love all bikes. The paint has some scratches here and there, but is in very good shape. It has reflective sides with a screw on the back side of the frame. What I find interesting is the Huffman name tag on the seat down tube. I have not identified the model or year yet. The shop owner told us that years ago he had bought out a old shop and found the frame, then as he dug the other parts turned up. It had never had a chain guard, nor had there been a chain on it. Really ? It had no marks from where the wheels were bolted on. The deal was made and the bike was handed to me. Unknown to me my friend Mike had a plan to make sure I got the Huffman this trip. My friend and I make a road trip there once or twice a year to check out all the cool stuff. It was in a bicycle shops back room, hanging from the ceiling. I have been trying to buy this Huffman for the last 5 years.
