What manufacturer made this Firestone 500?

Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
I have seen this chainring but, I can't place the manufacturer...I was thinking AMF, or Rollfast but I don't see an example of this chainring in the "Sprocket" ID threads.

I know that the Firestone 500 was either a Murray and or Huffy (even possibly Ross) supplied frames is most cases, and assume any manufacturer could have had the rights to label there brand for the Firestone stores.
This serial number is "J085340"

Snyder made Firestones around 1959-61ish, I have this ladies' model. Seems the Huffy & AMF models were more toward mid-late 60s.

Take a look at post #70.

I'm going to look at a similar bike this weekend. It's missing the tank. What's the probability of finding a good one?

Very hard to find tank.

It's all about the Tanklights!!

How did I run out of room so fast?
