Here's one for the sleuths

[eddy2dice]

I was asked the other day if I could i.d. this bike. The owner had been told it was a Westfield. I don't see the usual Westfield signature characteristics, but I could be blind. Lord knows its not the first time I've been wrong! I asked the owner if I could present this head scratcher to you guys for an answer and he welcomed the idea. View attachment 1182971

At first glimpse, I suspected maybe a Dayton? So I immediately went to https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/show-your-davis-built-bicycles.20560/page-18 I did find a similar bike (posts # 342 thru #346) It seems the bike even stumped Patric. I've attached photos of both bikes and their similarities. Anyone have a clue to the maker?

Adding a bunch more pics to see if that helps. Some pieces I assume are not original to the bike but I’d if you can. Thanks.
