Depends on the serial number.
Like Manny says, the head badge pre-dates the frame by about ~10-years.
I agree about the dark pictures.

Appears to be a 26” Snyder built with a GWM badge; I am thinking ~1935; would depend on the serial number prefix.
Have seen a black 1935-D Snyder with the same four sweethearts chain ring sprocket. It had ~2+7/8” tall vertical hole spacing for the missing head badge. (Most Snyder bikes have the horizontal badge holes).
I recall a member from Indiana posting that GWM went asunder in the middle 1920’s; so I was confused to see later ads from midwestern hardware stores with the apparently former-GWM badges, on what appeared to be Rollfast bicycles.
Not sure what year Janie's ads might be from; (1934 A&S B-10-E?).

Yes lots of frames and several pedal cars stuff all over the place...need my bulldozer up there to push it all down. lol
Yes I wonder if there is association with AS company using the B9 B10,B10E refernces etc Seems this bike matches pic description in the whole of it minus little details but of course the pedals,bars could have been changed over time etc. used the optional color scheme of blue/white. Thanks for this information. Jo BoAppears to be a 26” Snyder built with a GWM badge; I am thinking ~1935; would depend on the serial number prefix.
