It is a Rollfast. To the best of my knowledge there isn't a serial number database in the public domain. Your best bet would be to look through old bike ads and try to match up the paint and features on the bike. Just a guess I would say early to mid 50's, but don't quote me on that.

Here is the bike ads thread here

You might also post it over on http://www.thecabe.com
