Can anyone name the brand of this prewar Snyder?

[Junktown]

Found this in the attic of a garage. First day, just the wheels, found the rest oner the next 3 days. Then the father of the seller showed up. He was in his 90s, and he had bought it new for his paper route just before the war. Wondering if anyone can make a guess at the brand. The badge is missing, but it has horizontal holes that are offset-the left one is lower by 1/8, and the holes are only 1.5 inches apart.
The old guy said he got it prewar at Western Auto, but it looks to me more like a Monkey Wards bike. He only lived a mile from Monkey Wards, and being as he is in his 90s, he mighta mixed this up with his brother's bike.
Any help!

Definitely a Snyder built and this Snyder "Blue Ribbon" has offset horizontal holes. Never seen a Wards Hawthorne with offset holes!

Hiya MRG. Any chance you could measure the distance between the badge screws?
Thanks! Daniel

0.125” may have been within the dimensional tolerances for some manufacturers’ head badge attachments.

It may be 3/16. Really out there!

Montgomery Wards marketed this frame as did Rollfast, Zenith, Samco (sp) as well as others!

A quick measurement is 1 7/8 - 1 15/16 and about 1/8< horizontal offset so maybe a little wider than yours ? ( to bad, I have a extra BR badge I'm going to list here ), that frame was sold with many different badges but not sure if any others besides Blue Ribbon had offset mounting screws?
