So it's a double-stamped "P" (and not "T") - and a letter-only stamp seems more typical for the later 1920's (than early 1930's).
More like a 1928/29-P Snyder-built Hawthorne, (thinking Snyder might have skipped the letter "Q"?).
Also, looks like an intermediate-size frame with the ~4" head tube (versus more typical/shorter 3.5").

Thanks Shawn... Yeah now I see the date codes on the 30's are in a different place. The one I have handy is a bit earlier... with no date code it's '16. Always learning!
Here's a recent thread on another Snyder built Hawthorne Flyer with the P stamp on the bottom bracket. Looks like it was the same color as yours before someone painted it blue.

Hey Sean....I'm still trying to find the serial number. Have you seen where I cleaned the bottom bracket? I'm not seeing and numbers besides that stamp. Any continued help would be appreciated sir!!
You actually found the serial number with the double stamped letter. My suggestion would be get a scratch piece of paper and a pencil to go over that area because I see some faint numbers on there as well.
