Here's one that might be a little newer. Tank is updated but has the same chain ring.

Ross Deluxe tank bike | Sell - Trade: Bicycle Parts, Accessories, Ephemera

I have three 26" middle weight boys bikes for sale, of which I'd like to sell two of. I can't decide which to sell and which one to keep, so I'll offer all three and see what happens. The first is a Ross Deluxe tank bike. Near as I can tell, it's from the early '60s. This must...

Here's another Ross that was supposedly badged Norwood.

Beautiful original early 50's or late 40's bicycle badged "Norwood" with chain guard that reads "De Luxe". Everything seems to be present and original except for the seat which looks like it may be from a juvenile bike given that it's smaller in size. Repainted all over sometime in it's...

That was definitely produced by Ross early 60's. Picture of the serial number would help. Looks like the tank was a universal fit on many of their models over the years including the girl's version. At some point they added a plastic nose cone that wrapped the head tube and was screwed on at the sides. Here's an ad where that is shown. The rear wire carrier could be the same as on your bike but looks modified. The chain ring on the ad's bike is the same as yours.

The tank looks so universal it appears to have been used on their convertible bikes too!

Upgrade model with plastic nose extension.

I feel like $200 is the "I love this, can't live without it even though it's top dollar for this bike" price. Hopefully you didn't buy it to resell it or restore it. A little cleaning and service and enjoying it the way it is would be your best bet, and I hope you do!

I'm not familiar with Ross's serial numbers, but it's been said that the first two numbers are the year of manufacture.
