Serial is R43746, indicates 1957. I wonder how long they went kickstand-less?

schninn bottom bracket 1941
W stamped 1946 pivot bolt (chrrome)
Half loop front fender support with a long strip base welded to fender
straight edge spider web sprocket 1935 issue(verrsus offset teeth)

Huh? Chrome pivot bolt????.. And welded fender support??

pretty sure 57 was the last year.

I think that is right also.

I have a mid August produced frame hanging on the wall of wait that is going to get built into a bike in the not too distant future.. I hope! I bought the frame bare, and even the seller's ad had no chain guard, hence the question on the model name.

Frames lt to rt are: '46 B-6, '46 Straightbar, '57 M/W Tornado / Hornet (?), '72 Continental, '77 Camelback Varsity
