Hard to say, chainring is a Roadmaster. Here is my 47 with no rack.
 
My serial#: A91207 Badge says Cleveland Welding Roadmaster

What year do you think this is? A should rep an early production right?
I'm wondering what length of chain and how many links to look for when buying. Mine is missing the chain.
Any other links to find a skiptooth other than eBay?

thank you.

Late 40's to early 50's. You'll need to look past the serial numbers, near edge of bottom bracket, for a big C with small w inside of it. What letter or number precedes the Cw stamp. If numbers such as; 51,52, 53 etc, than that's the year, if letter or no letter but Cw stamp then list that.

Your rear dropout and bars, for the curved bottom section indicate this time frame whereas post[edit] Pre-war, war will not be curved.

I don't have any photos yet to post but recently acquired what I believe to be a 1948/49 Roadmaster. The serial number is C58106. Is there anyone that can confirm that this serial number is consistent with one of these years. Thanks in advance.
 
I have two of these bikes, a rough one and a nice one, both AMF Roadmaster Flying Falcons (middleweights). I read on this thread that AMF moved Roadmaster from Cleveland to little Rock in 1956, but the rough one is clearly stamped "56 CW", so that means it was built in Cleveland, correct? The number on the nicer one is a lot lighter, and if there's a year stamp, I don't see it. But it still has the "Masterweld - Cleveland Welding" sticker on the down tube, so I'm guessing (hoping) it's still a CWC built bike. Also, the connections between the bottom bracket and the frame seem to have a lot more brazing on the nicer one, but it looks like some of the original paint is still on the brass. Could this have been a factory repair?
And, is there an easy to tell a Cleveland Roadmaster from the Little Rock version?
At full enlargement of the picture, the nice one's serial number looks like "D17905", and the "D" and the "5" look like they were double stamped. I appreciate any information you can share.

Well just picked this up this afternoon. What I was told 1950's AMF Roadster PaceMaker. Ok it has a 19 " frame, 26 " tires, expanding seat post, no clamp. Has an extra ear on rear drop out for fender mounting. Bendix coaster brake in rear. Handle bars are not original. Roadmaster badge is faded. Serial # B37972 G on BB. I will take proper photos in the morning. This photo is from CL. Anyone have any ideas when is was made?

Don't think AMF had bought Roadmaster in 50 and with those rear dropouts and upper fender bridge its late 50's, 56 or 57 middle weight porobably
