Of course, I had to take a look, and despite the Huffy brand, it has a Sturmey Archer 3 speed rear hub. Great! Just what I'm looking for, and the price is right. All I need is a seat and seat post.
In my parts bin, I have 7/8" seatpost - it is too big. So I order a 13/16 Wald Seatpost off of Amazon . .. and it is too SMALL!!
I've looked online, but I can't find any chart with showing any intermediary sizes between these two seat post sizes. Of course, I can wrap the smaller seatpost with a beer can and make it work, but that doesn't sit well with my latent OCD tendencies. Anyone know of a seatpost size BETWEEN 7/8" and 13/16"? Pics show actual measurement's in mm.

Well, seat post sizes are normally taken in metric measurements? I would most likely bet that a 22.2mm is the size you need. but you don't show any pics of measuring the seat tube ID, just ones of measurements all the wrong seat posts.
I think we have a few (used) ones in the shop and can mail one to you. if you can't locate one locally. Check with any Co-op or volunteer shop to see if they salvaged some..
Is that a "C" clamp at the top of the seat tube?
