ALL PRO was the badge that KMart put on its bikes in the 60s and 70s. Back in the day we thought of them as teh cheap bikes even though they were probably made by the same mfg's as Sears and such. (Murray, Huffy, etc).

They are good decent bikes, there is many tells on these like what the sprocket looks like, the frame or sometimes the serial numbers.
If there is a MO anywhere on the bike including the serial number and the wheels then it would be a Murray, in the 70's Murray had stickers above the bottom bracket that gave you the month & year it was built or on all bikes with a Wald stem the last two numbers above the insert line would be the year if it is one of the years they started doing that.
