1940-1941 Hawthorne tank bike American?

[All bikes]

Super excited I brought this one home today. From what I gathered I believe it to be a 40-41 Snyder built bike. Probably my new favorite already... not sure what the difference is but I've seen other I think they were called an all American or something like that. Has a horn and a switch on the tank I guess for the side lights on the rack which are missing. Seat has been recovered but seems like it was the original pan. I haven't see a picture of one with just truss rods. Any info? Thanks

I've done some more research and believe it's a 41' comet. Anyone have pics of theirs?
