Mohawk by Snyder
I can not find any numbers on this bike I just bought. It has an indian on the head badge also Snyder Little Falls NY and some more I can't read due to bad paint job. The bike has two top tubes on the frame, like an old motor bike. I'd like to find out the year of production of my new ride. Anyone know?

[QUOTE=lilredwagonNTX;19804433]Alrighty then. The standard drill around here is take lots of detailed outdoor pics including close ups of dropouts, headset, underside of bottom bracket etc. And get them posted here. There is almost certainly a serial number on there somewhere. Good luck. Of course, condition is everything.

No, those are this symbol (I believe for life) reversed in meaning. I'm not an expert on this, but I believe the symbol originates in Hindu culture. A local playhouse has these engraved in marble...pre-dating the mustache by 50 years +. They give you a hand out explaining the meaning if you ask, but the symbol pre-dates nazism and the meaning was quite different.

Original paint needs removing? No. I live in NY and thought the frame had a cool look. So, I'm gonna build it. I couldn't find information online besides that close-up of the headbadge. There's no #'s on the bottom bracket "unless they're under the original paint"
Maybe I have some kind of prototype or special order bike? I don't know what else to say. It looks like an early moto bike(with 2 top bars) but I noticed a phillips head bolt so maybe its from the 50's. I sure would like to find the serial number.
