I picked this up last night. The pics on Craigslist didn't show the chain guard, so that was a most pleasant surprise.

I almost called on that bike,glad you got it.
That looks like a good riding bike. I believe you have a Snyder made tall frame bike. They were 20" instead of the usual 18" that most cruiser bikes were. The dropouts have the two holes for fender and rack mounts, which is early 50's, same as Rollfast bikes. Your serial number may be one that has the year reversed, 05 EH would be 1950. Even though they aren't original, the fenders and chain ring and guard look right at home on there.
Here's what I've done with it.
It looks good with the old headbadge on there. I like the orange paint also.
