Looks like a late 40s early 50s Monark to my untrained eye.

Monark! The inside of the crank will tell you the year, from my knowledge.

and before you throw it together, get that seat tube welded, the joint at the BB ALWAYS breaks. :roll:

GOOD ADVICE!! that weld broke on mine.

The rear triangle seems to look like a columbia to me.

Poor weld quality?

That's why I like Schwinn, their welds are like no other.

Columbias have bottom entry true horizontal, or rear entry dropouts, but those bikes do look a like a similar vintage Westfield/Columbia. I think the bent lower "bar" and type of joint on the upper sea post went out with the rear dropouts on Columbias.

Oh now people start blabbing about the weld breaking, if I knew about that I would of welded mine before paining, now one of them is broken lol

The tube was broke from the bottom bracket, removed the crank re-welded it from inside the bottom bracket, turned out nice from the top side ya cant see it was welded
