An internet article suggests that Japanese full-scale exports of bicycles commenced about ~1957. http://www.jbpi.or.jp/info_en_pdf/eng_inf_20210105.pdf
If a Snyder built bicycle, might be from about 1929–P (serial) with some replacement parts; but looks later (mid-30’s) based on the joinery of the rear forks to the bottom bracket?

I’m still learning about these. What makes it a Snyder? Is there some history I can read about them?

Did Pasadena stamp bikes for identification? It’s from the area at least part of its existence.

Are these rims common? Very flat with no sides, the rear has a 28 x 1.5 Penn Arrow. What’s left of the front tire is not the same.

The PAS has crisper edged letters than the other numbers. Could be newer.
