Year ID needed and or model - Autocycle -?

On Meads its common to find parts and frames from several years before the bike was actually built as they were using leftover parts to build their bikes. V/r Shawn

Let’s see a close up picture of where the crossbar attaches to the handlebar please.
Thanks!

Mead Rangers are fun to discover as most have had a strange combination of different year components.

Case in point... From 2014 thread...
Is has 3 lights, double adjustable neck, it's green, painted rack, straight down tube frame... Sure to drive a Schwinn nut even more nutty
Was listed as a 1936 but the key on the fork does not face straight back, has later style chainguard, frame could be 1938 and tank has far back tank strap in the front.

Beautiful Green Ranger of course. They’re not as common, along with my blue Ranger. It could be a ‘37 Ranger Zephyr with added features. Though the green 6hole looks to be a different shade of green…
I have a ‘36 tall frame Zephyr with the earlier tank as well…
