Cleveland welding year?

[Kxazbug]

My friend brought his mothers bike over for us to get rolling again and we would like to know the year if possible. It has a skip tooth and wheel adjusters like a prewar schwinn. Thank you.

It should be an ACw, which would put it at '50 or '51. Clean original paint with reverse scheme fenders; nice looking bike.

It is a cw at end. the grip bell is cool but I'm not sure if its missing something or you just flick it with your thumb . That grip won't twist or anything differant?

real interesting bell. Cant wai to see it. I'd soak it in vinegar.Something will loosen up.

It appears the bell stays stationary while the grip twist like a motorcycle throttle. The grip has a cog that has the dinger and by twisting it spins the dinger out into bell. It's been soaking in 40 for days now.
