Model number is 85745330.
Does that mean its a 1957 ??
Sorry about all the pics, Still trying to figure this computer thing out.
 
I think the green bike is a Monark. Elgin was a Sears brand but not a bike maker. Be good to see the chainring side of the bike. V/r Shawn

So it would be Monark with an Elgin brand tank or is that a Monark tank?

The paint under the rattle can green is the same, on the forks as is the entire bike. Original paint is Maroon.
If someone swapped the front end, how is the paint exact? I will look for pics of the of the Monark fork. Thanks for the info.
Do you think the badge is original ??
Is Elgin made by J&R ??
Any guess on the year ??
Thanks for responding.

This is a Monark built bike. Probably a '40 model. Badge is original. Monark, Murray, and Westfield all built Elgin (Sears) bikes. V/r Shawn
