Cleveland Welding S/N Project...See Page 58 Post 576 for chart

Finally got around to photographing and posting this lovely 1940 lady which I purchased about 10 or so years ago. Serial number is F83455.

Admittedly, I'm not terribly familiar with these later Cleveland Welding bikes. But from everything I've seen, I believe this is a 1953, however the serial number on the BB is F18343. According to my chart, I should be seeing a 53Cw somewhere.

The 53CW should be clearly visible to the right of the number. I think yours may be a 1948 model.Here's a 49 model:

Ah Ha! Thank you!
Regardless of whether mine is a '48 or '49 shouldn't I be seeing a CW after the serial number somewhere? What leads you to believe mine is a '48?

I see on the chart where it shows a CW stamp for 48. I stand corrected. I think CWC was consistent with the stampings. Maybe an early 46 model with the F serial number.
