I second the Elgin ID. snowflake Fauber ring was used by Elgin (teens,20s)........possibly others...........yes more pics would be much appreciated.
 
Weird to see the truss rods with no extension on the fork to them. For a motorbike that seems odd. maybe different fork? maybe hacked off.
 
Thanks so far everyone. Let me know any pictures you wish as to help ID. Also I noted the rear dropout was factory filed down on the outside buy not on the inside. The head tube original paint is white in that area and there is remnants of green paint throughtout frame.
 
Maybe Wards Hawthorne Flyer? That ring is seen on those as well. I think the fork had a plate under it that extended to the truss rods, also a Hawthorne type fork. The pinch in the back stays....hm.....? Thats my guess. good luck with that one.

There has been no truss rod arms cut off from the fork. Actually the truss rods are pretty straight with no bend to them. This is an interesting bird.
 
Fork?

This is a pic i found on the cabe. this is what i meant by metal plate. This bicycle has the same ring as well. When doing research i noticed that fork and ring together on a lot of 30s balloner Hawthornes. Maybe yours is from that era right before the switch. I don't guessing, but look up 30s hawthorne bicycles. Thanks to howevers' pic i used.
