I just picked this up from a lady I work with. She wants it restored. I'd like to know exactly what it is first. Sorry for the bad cell pics. I was in a hurry at work.. Hopefully you can see enough to get a model name. There's no head badge or legible markings. It's not a Schwinn, that much I know. Murray maybe? I'll post better pics this evening. Thanks in advance.

Looks like a parts bikes. The Schwinn patent on the cantilever frame design expired in 1957. Not many manf. used a skiptooth after early 50's.

That makes sense. The skip tooth does seem out of place to me. So does this frame look familiar to anyone?
