So what price range would you assign to this bike in it's current condition ?
 
THanks MIke. Was hoping for me, but I'll take whatever the going market is.

Yours is in great shape too. And those painted wheels pop! I don't see why yours shouldn't go for about the same. I'm tempted to get it myself, but I'm beyond tapped out. Good luck
 
Just noticed what could be frame repairs at the headtube joints? Can you post better pics?

The curved down tube indicates a 1942 or later design, more streamlined model.
DP Harris “Rollfast” introduced the streamlined frame with a curved down tube about a year or so after Montgomery Ward.
I have seen 6-digit serial numbers on the seat tube mast on post-war bicycles, usually preceded by a letter; e.g., “A” starting in ~1945.
Maybe look for a letter and another digit to the left of the 23022.
I finally found a thread that might help me ID my ride.
Looks to be E145989.
If “A” = 1945 is it safe to say this is from 1949?
