Someone might be able to nail it down, but I don't think there's a database for serial numbers for Amf, unless it's Murray built, then you're in luck. I'd say early-mid sixties.
 
If you locate the serial number, you should see a mo, mos,mol, something of that nature. The mo stands for Murray Ohio. Murray Ohio manufacturing co.
 
Things noticed during the cleaning process - there doesn't appear to be any seat post clamp ? - the stem was frozen into the head tube - managed to get stem out by removing the bolt , but bottom wedge part is frozen in steering tube , tried everything in my arsenal to get it out , heat , oil, force , no dice , wedge will not budge , ideas ? The handle bars and grips cleaned well - back rim is cleaned but hub and bearings still need redone , has side to side play and spokes need tightened and wheel tru'd up - haven't done front one yet - frame is cleaned but rough texture due to rust that was there , wondering if wet sanding would help ? The crank cleaned well - one pedal was busted and half missing so removed them , will look for replacements - gonna take bearings in to match up at the LBS and get new ones - chain is soaking in ATF , has some stretch , but still useful- seat us trashed , gotta figure out what I wanna do there ---

Most likely not Murray made with that type of seat post . Evans bikes of the 60s featured a clamp less seat post that would run a long bolt through the top and would have a stem style wedge. Also the sprocket is familiar of what Evans would have used. Someone else will know for sure.

I may have to replace the forks if I can't get this wedge out
