it was the standard Roadmaster checkered flags badge for flat tank, I remember chipping all the house paint off it and touched up the flags pretty badly with model car paint, also remember the tiny screws being barely capable of holding the tank and the badge in place

Here is a few things I learned back in the 1980's, ribbed seat clamp 1948-to-1953. straight bar on boys head set to crank set probably early 1940's. tanks , carriers , seats can be easily changed. I would love to see the out come of this project, I think its great!! Richard.....

Skiptooth, I have a ladies Roadmaster CW series, serial number D12558 Cw. By Phil's serial number chart, it would have been made December 1947 to March 1948. With the number being 125... I am assuming most likely January of 1948. And, so, I refer to it as a 1948 as I feel confident about that. My seat post is welded and does not have the rib. What do you make of that? Can anyone else help with this detail with their serial numbers? It may help us to nail this detail a bit more. Thanks!
Deb

Deb.I would go with phils numbers because back in the 80's we were guessing no tect. then! even now you can be 6 mo. off . does your bike have a drop stand? springer? and what type of carrier? skirt guards? I may have one posted on the lounge ...title; what else do you collect.. page 4 on the lounge, page 8 on what else do you collect ... check it out...Richard....
