Maybe the 1920’s?
After WW1 ended, Winchester needed to diversify, in order to survive as a company; and merged with the Simmons hardware stores (that already sold their firearms). About that time, E.C. Simmons likely sold Snyder built bicycles, (after Miami?).
By the crash of 1929, the 2 companies had parted ways.
The junior roadster example for auction looks like a Westfield built bicycle, based on the chain ring sprocket. The earliest ad for a junior roadster (drop bar or camel back) that I recall was about 1920.

I believe this badge is more TOC. @New Mexico Brant @Jesse McCauley

Certainly has the TOC aesthetic doesn't it @Freqman1 ?
I'd like to see the rest of the bike as in this case the badge will only be one piece of evidence.
It is funny how similar in form it is to the later ballooner era Winchester badge but we have certainly seen a badge design survive for decades in evolving forms.
