Well, she'd ride today with tires that held air. I realize it's no smithsonian piece, just looking for some info. No ideas?
 
I like it! With some love and wrench time, with those lines, she'll clean up really nice... or air em up and ride. Greal patina, too. Id guess not being a skiptooth (if its the o.e. drivetrain) mid to late 50's.

I have seen so many racks like that that look bent to me. Was that something kids did riding on them or was that from the factory that way?

Nope not factory... Just like an old pickup bed... lots of use and abuse and yes a kid or two enjoying a ride gets em all wavy and bent....
 
I believe it's from around 1956-59, 56 being the first year that chainring is shown in ads, and 59 being the last year straight bar frames are shown. This is a Snyder built bike, and there's not any info available on their serial numbers, the factory shut down in 1975 or 6. -Adam
