I came across this one tonight and dont know what it is. It's one of a few 30's bikes in a shed. The others were a Murray, a Schwinn and an Elgin.

I looked around and that's it. Thank you very much! Is there a database around to decipher the serial number?

I'll do that. As soon as I can get back there in the daylight I'll take pics.

No, there isn't one. But, it's been decoded that '40-42 bikes had the year stamped in reverse on the BB, aside from the serial #. So a 1940 has '04' stamped on it, etc. -Adam
