It could either be from 1955 or 1936. I'd guess the earlier date, but to be sure I'd have to see the whole bike.

thanks for your input. I appreciate it.

I bought it as a frame, with crank and head badge. I'm guessing since it has a dogleg crank and skip tooth it's a '36...

neat. This is my oldest frame yet. I had a 1938 Roadmaster at one time.

thanks for that link Nick.
