Help me identify this bike, please.

I got this bike when a older couple left it at the house I moved into. It's mostly faded so it's hard to see any trademarks or logos. Thank you for any help in advance :)

IDing your bike could be easier if the pictures weren't all upside down.

I'm using an iPad and whenever I upload the pictures it makes them upside down.

The headbadge reminds me of the old Firestone Tire logo. Department store bike?

My thinking, as well -- definitely low-end. A full drive-side picture might be instructive, as well of closeups of all frame lugs or junctions.

I think many of the big companies such as Murray built bikes that were then re-badged for specific markets including Firestone.

Firestone did either make or re-badge bikes at one time. Here is a 3-speed from about that era

Anyway, it might be a fun "town bike" to ride. However, it is not particularly valuable. If you choose to restore it, keep your investment low (new tires, tubes, grease, cables, and important safety stuff).

I would say it is an Upside Down bike. One of the few bikes that defy gravity.

Just a perfect match for the "Velcro Bike".
