Picked this up at a swap meet yesterday. I'd number is 87833 on the frame near the rear axle. No head badge and the fenders have an arch in the middle of them that I have not seen before along with the holes in the front for a light like my samsco has. Any ideas guys?

Yes! It's hard to see due to someone painting it but I believe there is a letter B just before the numbers

There is two holes and a small cut out on the chain guard but nothing there. From that link it says either a 37 or a 56 lol im going to go with probably 50's anything else people might be able to tell me about it
