I duh know... i have some 60’s rm with the same sprocket?? That fender and rack look older than 60’s if they are original?? Try old catalogs on line! Takes time but it’s fun and sometimes rewarding! Look it over good for serial numbers and badge details can help narrow you questions about year and all! Good luck! It’s interesting... value wise idk! But a fun build on the cheap! It could be a cool rider!

40's, post war.

Turn it upside down and get a photo of the serial number, then someone will let you know the year.

the old girl is missing a few things.

Sweet. Thats a good day! I’d have kept for a year anyway! And looked and wonder about it ...spent probably 50 hours fooling with it............on top of 200$........and
then.......nothing...stored for years! You did the right thing! Cha ching!

The owner of the antique shop recognized it for what it is. Go back in a few days and see what he's asking for it.

Looking at the details on your frame, I'm guessing late '40's or early '50's, before AMF bought Cleveland Welding (1951). But if you got $100.00 for it, you did all right.
