Hmmmm... definitely very old, early post war? maybe during the war? Its the rear dropouts that got me thinking otherwise. Try posting on the "Bike Talk" forum with the serial number and let the vets have at it.
 
Post war DX. Chainguard attaches to studs on the frame. Pre war guards had clamps that went around the frame. A pre war frame would also have chain adjustors on the rear axle. Gary

The chainguard and dropouts say 1950's to me, but I'm not an expert. I didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn Express. :mrgreen:
