I don't think any of the early Huffman's had a collar at the top tube to seat stay juncture.
...and, I don't think a Huffman of this era would have a seatpost clamp.
That frame would make an awesome strandie

I've been thinking Shelby. Cool frame for sure.
I agree, the headset bearing cups look very Shelby.
I swear I responded to someone above that suggested Huffman...but, I guess I may have imagined it

It is indeed a Shelby...I was looking at Shelbys, and other manufacturers, year by year trying to find a match. Out of frustration, I just searched for 'Shelby straight bar'...and got some results. Sometimes the most obvious solution is the right one 
Guessing '37-'40 based on other examples. It appears that a decoder ring for Shelby serial numbers hasn't been discovered yet
...probably closer to '37-'38 based upon what the other manufacturers were putting out.
