Two Mystery Teens Forks: i.d. Help Please!

[New Mexico Brant]

Any help identifying these two forks would be appreciated. Both are for 28 inch tire bicycles. Thank you!

the moto fork looks like a ranger fork to me....not sure on the other...maybe Snyder...???...can’t say I am hundred percent...but those are my best guesses. Hope it helps.

Would agree with Mead/Snyder; but Mead by who, maybe Westfield? They did make Rangers with chrome forks, but ribbed also?

Still have these?

Maybe these pictures would help. I’m thinking Mead for the one with the rib, but someone may know what this is by the serial number?

Mead on 1st fork, circa 1918-25 ish. Was nickel plated, then painted ecept for crown and rib on two of my past op bikes. Rib was present on 1915 models. Patent was 1914.
