No pics allowed in warehouse where I found this.. Drawn to best of my ability, I think it's unique enough someone will know. Thank you everyone...

If the middle bar that curves down to the bottom is two bars, it could be an X-53. If it is a single, it is probably a Jetflow / colorflow frame. Fairly desirable either way. Does the top bar have that hard of an angle on it, or is it more of a curve?
 
An X-53 frame.

The bottom bar kicks down before seat tube. Exactly shape as top, but smaller scale and opposite placement.

As long as I have the experts attention...how about these? Think Huffman & Columbia, but no match on funky serial numbers.....

I'm sure the green one is a Columbia, the kickstand mount gives it away.
Here is a 1952 3-star deluxe
 
On your first picture, you may need more than my "semi un-professional" opinion. Those two frames that I listed are the only two that I can think of with that unique bend on the middle tube. Does it have forward facing drop outs, or rear facing with adjusters?
 
Thanks guys. New student to the old school. All the feed back is greatly appreciated.

The green one's dropouts are Columbia for sure. Here's a site that has all the serial numbers by year:

The dropouts look like Rollfast (Snyder) on the gold one, but those and the welds look like Emory, who used all the stuff Snyder had left starting in 1976. I wish I would have kept this early model.

That's the best Emory frame as far as I'm concerned, it was nearly the same as a Snyder frame with Ashtabula forged forks.
 
Thanks to Everyone! Yes sir, gold bike is an Emory, at least after image matching. Great to know.

I would guess that this frame is home built. Either that or something that I have never seen. It is cool though.

. So I went with this as final product. What are the mounts in pic 2 for? Anyone, anyone.... Bueller, bueller....?

I think that's a modified Huffy frame. That grommet is probably part of the mods done by someone when they stretched the frame. Maybe it was for a rack or even a flag holder.
 
There's one on each side... And check this too... Cut the tube, extended industrial rack someone guessed. So....?
