Best Answer: The HA stands for Hawthorne, or the MW brand of bikes. Most Hawthornes were built by Murray Ohio and it looks as though yours was built in 1977. If you search carefully the frame may be stamped with the date, looking like 5-77 (for March 1977 for example). No value to speak of, it would be a bad weather bike for me, and perhaps a 'no worries' commuter for a college kid. If it got stolen there would be nothing to worry about. They are readily available in good shape at garage sales and flea markets for maybe $20 or so.

This bike was equipped with the peaked fenders, curved fender and rack braces, horn tank, and a headlight (was on.

If it's a 60's/70's Hawthorne bike then they were made by H.P. Snyder who also made Rollfast bicycles which had the same frame or if it's an earlier bike it would be made by Cleveland Welding Company. If I had a picture then I could help you more, some members at The Classic and Antique Bicycle Exchange can tell you the info you need by looking at their catalogs. Some of them have Hawthorne's but don't forget pictures along with the serial number.

Edit: Rollfast 1960's Hawthorne's 1960's Murray never did made Hawthorne's but understandable to make that mistake because the sprocket looks similar, the difference of Murray & H.P. Snyder bikes are in these pics.
