Picked up this old 20 inch anticipating the next muscle BO ? Still trying to ID the frame and seat . The nana seat has a spring frame and the rear US Royal tire is still in very good shape .
The closet frame I found to compare was a 38 CWC . ( Roadmaster ) but the bike was advertised as a Shelby ?

The model 720 in the catalog picture looks more like a classic drop bar frame, as we can see the angles between the top tube and the seat stays. The actual bike appears to be a more streamlined design, as the line of the top tube continues into the seat stay tubes (like on the larger models in a 1936 catalog).
More drop in the top tube.
 
Frame is H. P. Snyder Manufacturing Company
Rollfast, Roamer, Black Beauty, Ben Hur, Lexington, Peerless, Cadet, Athlete, Standard, Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Savage, Rex, Blue Ribbon, Keystone, Gold Medal, Hawthorne, Montgomery Ward, Overland, Winchester, Hopalong Cassidy
Maybe the ad was drawn on a Friday . :wondering:
