What is the serial #?

Sorry Bill, there are two! The other number is L12, couldnt find the pic.

Your serial # and the L 12 frame date code would indicate that your bike was manufactured in Dec., 1944. Very likely the 2nd half of the month. This would have been one of the early standard style non-tank balloon tire bikes that were manufactured for civilian use after the War Production Board (WPB) increased the wartime weight limit on civilian bicycles from 31 lbs. to 42 lbs. excluding tires and tubes in Sept., 1944.
