These are all the photos I have until Friday night. Fairly basic bike, some surface rust, missing front wheel, paint is especially bright, I suspect OG. Has front load headlight, rear blister reflector (suspect plastic), fenders, frame and paint in very good condition ( mostly lite rust) flat fender braces, oil cloth seat in VG condition, bars missing some 30% chrome. Overall, an easy clean up, replace front rim, tires & tubes, full serviceride!

Anyone have an as is value?

thx - Bart

Ahhhhhh, thanks Nate, the chart showed the 1946 start with K 5000 so I was confused!
