Help ID'ing this Monark Rocket

[ctiesman]

Hello everyone, After doing some research these past few days, i'm coming to the conclusion that this bike was made in the '51-'57 range. If anyone can verify any information about this bike, (model name, year, value, original pictures, etc.) I would be extremely grateful. Thank you. Comments are welcome to on how I should go about restoring this.

Cheers Everyone!
