What is this straight bar bike?

Has a Atwood type kickstand and Columbia style rear section...?

I'm guessing it's a Westfield / Columbia frame.

Thanks King ..the kickstand threw me and the s/n was kinda vague on Columbia site.

Agreed. Definitely Westfield-built frame.

Thanks I appreciate the feedback.

I agree, Columbia, and it looks to be in good shape. The serial number looks like it's not oriented correctly, but it indicates 1956, which would be about right for that frame. The head badge for that year has 2 vertical mounting holes, and looks like that shape on yours also.
Here's a nice 56 Columbia Thunderbolt:

Yes I was in the Jax area for awhile. I worked at Mayport for 9 years after I retired from the Air Force.

Ok thought so.

My "Goodyear" Highway Patrol (Columbia built) has the same stand mount, pretty common on available survivors. The earlier built in stands were not great*.
