So maybe the “EH” is a placecode and your bike may have been built in the Excelsior Michigan City plant acquired by Snyder in the 1930’s.
I usually just go with the year and not think too hard about the month or season, unless that is also part of the stamping, or as in your case, if there are catalog documents reflecting the bike.
From an online 1953 Wards catalog: The men's match to my bike. It does appear to me that my chain ring and rear sprocket were "upgraded" to regular chain. If anyone has the skiptooth chain ring for this bike, let me know.

Awesome! Thanks Mike! I just posted another thread because it would be nice to know this about all bike manufactuers. So, share your knowledge about it on that post, and about any other manufacturers that you are knowledgeable on. Thanks!!!
I also wonder if/when Snyder changed their finish on bright work; it seems that 1950's bikes have what today appears as lightly-galvanized cranks, sprockets, hubs, (hot-dipped or electro-deposited); or maybe the chrome-plate was just very thin?
