Are those ears for a rear drop stand? Are there any badge holes up front?

yes it has ears for rear stand, its an old bike..no holes for badge and original paint so they were not filled in

Stelber started making bikes I belive in 52. Rear drop stands were discontinued by the early 40s so I don’t believe it’s a Stelber. So you couldn’t find any numbers on the frame?

no numbers, looks like frame was dip painted and missed places and has runs on bottom end

Very odd, definitely an old frame. Have you looked on the straight down tube? My Rollfast had it there about 6” under the seat.
