Nice pre-war New World! I've got a '49 from "Sloan Cycle, Reading PA" and there is a Broadway Ave. in Reading. I wonder if there's a connection?

@HARPO The hub date helps place the bike in 1949. That's going to push the E4XXXX serials into 1949. It's not an exact science for sure and the 5 vs 6 digit serials adds to the confusion. Maybe something like this will work... Got to add @HUFFMANBILL 's two additions to the list too...

Looks like a 1940 new world racer. Very nice!

Do you have a picture of the pedals, I’d like to see them.

Cool bike! I'm going to add it to the Prewar list.

I think those are Paramount hubs, similar to the "phone dials" but not the same. The center/axle section is smaller in diameter on the Paramounts. Any markings on the rims? Killer bike!
