Can anybody tell me anything about this tank. I have searched for info about a Whippet and came across a Shelby Whippet with a wishbone frame but it did not have a tank, not sure if it is even from the same time period as the wishbone. Any help would be great.

What year did Rollfast frames use the then-new streamlined (bent curved) down tube; was it 1942?
Seemed like many manufacturers were catching-up on the springer forks in early 1940's.
 
I found the 1942 Rollfast ad or catalog page.

What D.P. Harris hardware stores sold must have first been made by H.P. Snyder.
Other stores (e.g., M. Ward) may have been first to order, receive, and sell the then-new streamlined bicycles with curvy down tubes.
