Is this a pre-war Elgin?

Calling all Elgin experts
Is this a pre-war Elgin?
If not, anyone know what it is?

Are the parts correct?

Its Huffman built, and it looks pieced together to me

For sale locally as a pre-war Elgin at $450!!!!

Way overpriced!

Not original enough to be worth anywhere near that much, IMO.

Sears sold Elgin branded bicycles after the war in 1945 and 1946, the J. C. Higgins branding didn't occur until 1947.

My bad! If I had only been a Sears guy instead of a Schwinn guy... Gary
