Reply #2: Sure thing and there is a somewhat happier ending...

A friend puts together jousting bikes so I asked him if he could use the frames.
He stopped by and decided to weld together a metal sculpture of sorts, we are going to put it together and take it up to the hill behind the barn where I found these, inscribe a plaque and install it.
The father had purchased all of these at once from a local bike store that is still here. The owner remembers the sale.

My daughter is riding the Stingray, loves the banana seat and has learned to do wheelies.
