I'm not sure. Is it worth restoring?

Wow, beautiful! So mine was a tank bike? Does the frame paint and striping look original?

 

[JRE]

Frame paint looks original. It most likely have the tank chain guard and Rack like my Gray 1937

Might be a 1936–N.

Looks like one of the higher N series sequence numbers seen.

Here's my '37. They do ride good, just as @JRE mentioned. I have a Delta headlight and a Delta Defender taillight, and chainguard that aren't in this picture.

I would service the bearings and brakes and ride it.
