CWC Frame Date Question

[jmt788]

I have this CWC frame. The serial number is E89439 and there is no suffix of any type. I'm curious about the year of the frame and what it might have originally been badged as. Thanks.

those dropouts and that curved "straight-bar" says possibly early 40s or earlier.

it's nice whatever year it is
