Many but not all 1937 Firestone Fleetwood Supremes have a serial that starts with “H” followed by five numbers Ex: H10376 1937-1941 a letter followed by four or five numbers with, or without, one number below the other numbers is used. I have seen the month and year reversed as well. 1938 Serial NumberĪnother way to date a lot of 1938-1944 bicycles is by looking at the back of the fork crown which will have either two or three numbers e.g. 1934 Serial Numer 1937-38 generally used five numbers with one number below. Note: I have not found the serial number list for the Western Flyer Huffmans contained in the “ABC Book” to be accurate for the pre-1947 serial numbers. Notice some of these numbering systems overlap years and may be specific to how the bike was branded for example the Firestone bikes.ĭetermining the exact year of a bike is usually done based on the frame design as well as other features on the bike. The below examples are what are generally found. An amazing amount of variety exists between numbers even on the same models such as the ’37 Firestone Fleetwood Supreme. There seems to be little rhyme or reason to a lot of the early serial numbers seen on Huffman bicycles.
