1939-40 Peerless Find from a Detroit Attic

[pkleppert]

Nice bike. I once had a 1937-Y Peerless.

Yes, there also were some other makers, distributors and sellers, such as the earlier Sears Peerless by Davis; CWC, Shelby and Westfield Peerlesses; and perhaps others.

What is the serial number?

Here's a photo of the seria; #

04–EH would be 1940; built in the Michigan City Indiana factory, (which may have been twice as close to Detroit over land by train, than the NY plant over water by barge?).

What is the serial number/date-place code?

I wonder if that's the og Snyder factory serial #? I thought they moved to the seat tube when reverse year coding started.
