Looks to be a late '45 or early '46. Curved braces were prewar and up through '47 and, what looks to be O4 on the hub, places the hub in the fourth quarter of 1945. The frame may have been produced a little later than the hub, and they were just using up old stock. The serial number will probably start with a D, E, or F?

I have a men's and a ladies from this brief early postwar period as well. Enjoy! They were simple, no frills bikes and had no equipment options, no racks, tanks, lights, nada. Just bare bones getting back to producing bikes after the war ended. Pretty neat part of history.
