Welcome aboard!

That's a Huffman, prewar probably. Later on they were called Huffys. Check the serial number, it can be used to show the date of manufacture.

I have a similar Huffman.
Serial #H257460. Rolled off the line not too long after yours. Has a 65 stamped on back of fork crown. I believe it is a 1945 civilian model.

This site has a lot of info on Military Huffmans and Columbias and how to ID them:

Just by glancing I would have probably guessed a 50ish bike. That crank is very distinctive…

Cool acquisition

Wow .That is realy nice.Dobyou know what the numbers stamped on the back of the Forks refere too.?

I confess that I'm not a Huffman expert. I did google them pretty hard when I found mine. The H + 6 digit serial #s were used between 1945 and some time in 1947 if I understand correctly.
Where the fork stamp is concerned, I believe that one digit is the month and the other is the year. If that holds true, yours would be May 45. Mine would be June of 45.

I found this info on the Vintage American Bicycles website: https://vintageamericanbicycles.com/index.php/serial-number-lists/

The CABE is another good resource.

45 sounds about right. I'm in Hawaii so I don't have my serial number book to give an exact guess.
