Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
3 pics: I believe the frame dates from just after, or perhaps just before WWII.
Shallow bend, "F" s/n.
Other details: solid seat mast with a bushing forced into the seat tube, and clamp arc welded at top to secure the assembly.
No fender mounting slots in dropouts, adjusters are square head style.
Chainstay brace (poorly) arc welded in place, seatstay very nice weld.
No headbadge, extremely small rivet holes likely drill studs, rather than screws.
found as bare frame with dogleg crank and Hawthorne-style skiptooth: came from a farm junkpile near a small town that had never had a bike shop...but did have a thriving M. Ward catalog "outlet"
If any knowldegable folks have a better date, I'm open.
The bike was too far gone to do anything but create a franken-custom rider
So I did.
And I ride it
