my first official post
the bike belongs to a farm run by the Park District that I work for, I decided to bring it home and overhaul it so it can be ridden
the frame seems unique so maybe I.D. will be easy for some of you.
their is a few layers of paint, the lowest layer looks silver
it also has a Komet Super rear hub
the number I found on the dropout vertical on the left side

thanks for any input




 
Frame itself has hallmarks of an H.P. Snyder, which manufactured bikes for other sellers, such as Rollfast and Hawthorne. Too bad the headtube badge is missing.
 
Here's a thread on the CABE featuring a very similar bike; looks to have the same fork and chainring, stem/bars etc so your bike might be fairly complete and original, aside from the paint and badge...

I can see how @RustySprockets might have thought it was a Snyder/Rollfast bike, as many of those had a similar seatstay treatment to your bike:

But when you see a bike with a wishbone kickstand plate like yours, you can bet on it being a Westfield/Columbia bike....
