Hello guys, I would like to know if anyone can tell what bike I have. I bought this bike at a estate sell, and I was told it was a 1946 JC Higgins and was giving these ads. So, after tearing the bike down for cleaning I notice some of the parts didn't look right, like the rear brake hub is a Morrow with a date code F4 that would put it at 1936 4th quarter. As far as I know that chainguard was used only for one year and that was used on a Monark, and Roadmaster. The bike did not come with a head badge, and the distance between the two mounding holes is three inches. I cannot read the serial number the paint is too thick. Thanks.

1936 Cleveland Welding Co. Could have been a Roadmaster.

That's definitely earlier than a 46.

1935-36 Ladies Roadmaster FOR SALE | Sell - Trade: Bicycle Parts, Accessories, Ephemera

In a rare reverse cream and green paint scheme with downtube decal intact. I have never seen another CWC bike in this color combo, perhaps the only one. Highlights include original triple step wheels and the early crank style in good chrome, truss rods good and the flying v fork. 225 plus...
