Please help me date my Rollfast

[Blueboy5000]

Strangely, there is no number on the bottom bracket, and there is also no evidence there has ever been one... there is a number on the seatube...

and the number is?

Unfortunately, I have pneumonia Atm. So I have not been able to start the meticulous cleaning of the frame ( Doc says cleaner/compound fumes is a big no no). Currently, my pops who is retired is working on the chrome. Later today, I will have him send me the number.

Thanks my Ratty bros for all the help identifying this bike. It's a great scoot. You guys have really helped me out.

Also, after cleaning up a drop out, it seems she is purple, and not the brown it appears in the pictures.

Okay, the only number anywhere on the frame is right above the ancient Rollfast decal on the seattube. There are no numbers anywhere else on the BB or the dropouts.

It reads: 495737, or possibly K495737, but I'm not certain if it's a "K", might just be a nick.

After extensive cleaning of the remnants of paint, we found a two-digit number:

45

So if Rollfast used the same dating system as Snyder, I am thinking this makes it a 1954?

Also, stamped on the side of the stem is indeed an R in a circle, so I would say it is indeed a Rollfast stem.

That would support my theory. -Adam
