I need some help.
 

I've got this bicycle. It's old. I know it was made in Little Falls, NY by the H.P. Snyder Manufacturing company and it's called a Mohawk. Problem is, I've searched all over the interwebz and cannot find any information or photos pertaining to this bike. If anyone has any information about it, I'd be incredibly grateful. Thanks guys.

I may or may not have posted this in the wrong place. :(

I have actually already found and read both of those. That first link is actually how I found this site. Thank you, though!! I'm extremely grateful for any help.

H. P. Snyder, 1895-1975. R. I. P. :(

The linked story says the quality was better than AMF, but construction methods and design look similar to me. Shimano 3-speed rear hub puts this no earlier than the 70s, I think.

Thank you!!! This is the kind of stuff I'm looking for. Problem is I'm a COMPLETE new guy to bicycles. So again, thank you thank you thank you.

My guess, based on the chainguard design, would be 1960s. According to Sheldon, the Shimano 333 hub was introduced in 1957, though I don't know at what point exactly it became available in the U.S. market. Mandiblee, you should probably read Sheldon Brown's cautionary article about the Shimano 333.

This was a low-end bike even when it was new, but if it's got sentimental value, then sure, fix it up, ride it, and feel awesome. Alternately, if you travel from Rochester down to NYC or Philly, you might be able to make a small profit on it (when I lived in Schenectady, I had quite a few opportunities to do that kind of thing). But even there, it's not a high-demand item.

I can't quite tell what that round thing on the handlebar stem is. Whatcha got there? Speedometer?

Oops.

I'm no help on the bike, but I did grad school in Rochester and met my now husband there. I miss it too!

Have an eggplant parm sandwich at the Orange Peel Cafe for me. And a huge cookie at Java's.

I already knew it wasn't worth anything, but I love it. I own a MkII VW GTI so, I know about lots of work for a piece of junk. :) I'm all about sentimental value.
Thank you, for all of your help B. By the way, yes the round thing is a speedometer.

I absolutely adore living in Rochester. I frequent Java's so I'll be sure to grab a cookie. :)

If the bike fits and you like the color then it's definitely worth a few hours of tinquering. Don't know that I feel that way about GTIs. That's a whole different bowl of nuts and a whole different forum full of wierdos:)
