Fork looks like a Westfield built “hairpin” truss rods for the fairly less common taller frame (5” head) motorbike. Frame looks to be 1930 or earlier due to the reinforcement band style of joint for the truss tube.
A good candidate for a Hendee “Indian” tribute motorbike project.
Date is determined by the serial number prefix; e.g., A = 1923, and so forth.
The challenge might be obtaining one of the undersized proprietary crank set and 20 tpi cone and bearing set. Looks like the headset hardware is still there; it should also be 26 tpi and proprietary size, ~31mm.

Hi @oldiron73
As @Archie Sturmer says, likely a Westfield made bicycle, late 1920's to early 1930's.
This 1928 Westfield from @pkleppert shows similar characteristics. The serial number (on the bb) would help us date it more accurately, if you'll share it?

Westfield Serial Number? | Antique Bicycles Pre-1933
Acquired this crusty late 1920's early 30's Westfield/Columbia bike about a month ago. Finally uncovered the serial # under all the baked on grime. Hopefully someone can recognize this serial # and confirmed the year and make of this bike. Serial # is F65922. Thanks
