Hi,
I'm planning to purchase this frame to start s new project, can anybody tell me what brand and year it may be?

Cool starting point! It's a Westfield built, get the serial # and check the serial # chart courtesy @MrColumbia

1939-40 Westfield
Serial # would help nail down year.

Curious how you came up with 39-40. A little hard to tell from the pic but I think that tank came out in 37
