Zenith Golden Hawk..?
I was snooping around the Bikes for Humanity scrap pile, well not all scrap, and saw this Zenith "Golden Hawk". Looks old and kinda interesting. Does anyone know anything about them?
Saw a couple of interesting roadsters, in the pile. One of our forum members commented that roadsters were few and far between, in his location. In Thunder Bay, we have a bit of difficulty getting rid of all the ones that show up. Needless to say, old roadsters are not sent to Africa.
This little Glider will be coming out to the cottage in the next couple of days. One more old bicycle for the garden...

Hi Randy,
I have seen two similar headbadges: silver hawk and black hawk.
This badge is scratched, but it says "Made in Canada".
The black hawk, has a loop frame with "Made in England". I think it is 1950s or 1960s.
I don't know for sure, but I think this may have been a brand name for the Marshall Wells chain of stores. But someone else may remember which chain of stores sold these in Canada.
