Nice find! Look like western flyer. I have the same frame, fender and sprocket. I will post up some pictures tomorrow as it's dark outside at the moment.

My WF bike is in pieces right now because i am cleaning it up. I found this picture in my wife's camera and it is the one. I also just notice the handlebar and stem are the same as yours. Take off the right grip, there should be a hole in the handlebar.

removed grips no hole in handle bar the head badge holes is like an old schwinn set up 2 -3/16 centers. and missing the truss rods it has western flyer pedals with wooden blocks a very nice riding bike. the poor ole lady kept saying i dont know if i'm doing the right thing by selling the bike but i kept reassuring her it this was the thing to do :lol:

My mistake, the hole is on left side of the handlebar. The serial number on my WF bike is HW13369 and the picture of the head badge below. So i guess it different then.
