Help identifying!

[Archie Sturmer]

I am in agreement that the rear fork ends do not look like later fabrications of the 1930's or 1940's.

Also, a couple of (two) "snippets".

Still wondering if there is any marking forged into the other side of the crank.

Serial # fits with 1919 time frame of about 100,000 bikes made a year after the 1,000,000th bike in 1917.
Total match to the 1919 catalog pic too.

As it looks today. Not for everyone I am sure, but it is for me, an effort to make lemons out of lemonade.
