Any info on these two bicycles?
I am a recycler and came across these two. I believe one is very old but can't find any markings. Would hate to send them to the furnace if they are rare or restoration worthy.

I'm no expert, but the green one looks like a Free Spirit (late '70's/early 80's Sears bike).

Thanks, Someone had told me the other one was a German model pre WW1 which is what spiked my curiosity. I try to salvage as much as I can, Hate to see stuff like that destroyed. any info is helpful.

The small wheel utility delivery bike does look to be European and could be from the 40's or 50's so it might be worth $100-200 to the right person as an interesting project. The green bike is as said a 70's Murry built department store bike probably sold by Sears or Kmart $75 or so in good working condition.
