My mom recently passed away and this is her bike from when she was a little girl. She wanted to donate it to a museum... I am just trying to find out something about it. Serial number N144062. Frame manufacture date B10. Looks like it was built in Nov-Dec of 1935? Any idea of what it is worth?
Looks like it might clean up well, perhaps there might be chrome and maroon paint underneath the navy blue and aluminum. With newtires and tubes, and a little bit of forkstraightening, the bicycle may be refurbished into a nice FLA. beach cruiser.
Worth the cost of economy tires & tubes, and labor, and misc.(?) — maybe, but maybe not.

You are correct, N1440623, B10's frame was made in October 1935, so probably built up then or shortly after. Westfield at this point was in full swing making Elgin Bluebirds, and your serial number is surrounded by them.
I can only find a oouple of later Women's Westfield Sterlings, the links are below to give you a rough idea of what it looked like originally, , but they are not quite the same as yours.

Thank you @Mercian for this list. I have 3 Westfield built pre-war bikes and I will post their info.
First is a girl's 1936 Elgin. Serial # A249298 / BB Code: C11 (Nov 1936). The rear hub is Morrow but I don't see any other script stamped on it other than it's name. I think the chainring is called a sweetheart.
1941 Westfield Custom DeLuxe Motobike - Model F64TX. Serial # F93052 / BB Code: H4 (April 1941)
Has a Comet badge. Wheels are not original to the bike. I have the original pedals but when riding I often take them off and use a new pair to save wear on the originals.
