You might find comparables on the Copake Auction website. It's always interesting to check their completed auctions.

| Hi I recently received a Cruiser from my family for my birthday and would love to know anything about it. All I know is that it has a badge on the front that says Firestone Special and made in Germany. it is a single speed with rear coaster brakes and 24" rims. The original color was blue and my sister was told it was an aluminum frame from around WW2. I can send links for pics if want. Any help is thanked!!! |

| You've posted in the wrong forum. Try balloon/middleweight. I suggest you first use a magnet to determine whether the frame is steel.
I'd like to see the pictures if I may. |
