Its junk. Send it to me and Ill dispose of it properly for ya 
id roll that! what they want for the other junks?
Guessing ~1950-1951. Many of the Musselman hubs have a date code stamped into the shell on the brank arm side. Check it out and post if so?
Is there a letter and symbol on the hub?

I'm curious about that white "snow" on the front fender - is that some weird corrosion from a headlamp battery? Also, what else does the seller have and where is he located? You might make some dough as a proxy buyer for members here.... you never know.
mudguards look to be replacements
The "snow" is really snow. I pick up the bike from the backyard of the house. In Cleveland area it was light snowing in the last days.
On the rear hub is a triangle and under it is a "5" or "S".
I don't know if the rest of my bikes are interesting for you guys, they are not very old.
Older bikes: Indian 3 speed with rear dynohub late'50s, Columbia 3 speed with front dynohub '57, JC Higgins 3 speed 50's, all men bikes, with Sturmey Archer rear hub.

AFAIK "S" is 1951 or 1952 manufacture. Musselman skipped some letters in the coding, and may have skipped some years during the war.
