just picked up this rollfast today. The guy told me it was a 1936, which is what he was told. He took it in on a package deal with a Columbia shaft drive. I'm not finding anything close in that timeframe. I'm thinking older. Morrow hubs on drop center wheels. Wrong seat and bars for sure. Seat is a ladies troxel, and I'm pretty sure those are mw Schwinn bars. Any ideas on model and year?

26" wheels ? if so, it may be earlier than '36, but (guessing) not more than a couple of years.

There may be a reversed date code under the bottom bracket. If it is a 36 it may read SN 63. Very nice bike.

This is stamped on the bottom bracket: D2710 then a sideways 4

If we leave the components out of the equation, just trying to find a rollfast frame with a single straight top tube is proving near impossible. The only one I've found so far is from a 1920 advert, but the components don't match. The paint scheme doesn't either.
