Is that a 26" tire size? I'm not sure I've ever seen a frame like that,

Down tube, chain and seat stays look earlier, but the spacing on the double bars? Bikewhorder, could be 24" maybe? And no CWC stamp that I can see. What do you think Jason? Jeff? CWCman?

Thanks for the quick responses! The rain stopped and the sun finally returned to the Ohio Valley this morning, I found the serial number-D42028, may be easier to track down now. Not sure if this is going to become a summer project, just looking for the history! It does have 26" tires.

That serial puts it late 1938 production. Cool bike, have fun with it.

Nice bike Wayne, thanks for the reference. You're right about the top tubes, kind of unusual.

Yeah the drop stand ears and straight or fat drop bars are a pre-war giveaway.. And now I'm curious, I've a little pre-war 26 Western Flyer girly with odd numbers on it like that, and looks like the same fork set up too. But it's without a set of serial numbers so, where'd you find the numbers at? Can you post a photo that indicates the locations of all the numbers on it?
