"TROPHY" parts bike

[6DODGE6RAM6]

Picked this up the other day from a friend,it was a bike that was disassembled for a resto but lost interest. Came with a new pair of whitewalls,a decent pair of the original allstate tires,new stem,bars,fenders,some extra hubs,the original fenders, and a nice black troxel seat. Has anyone heard of a trophy? I can't find anything on it so far,but I figured for what I got it for,it was worth it for the parts.

chainring and serial number plate scream monarch built. most likely badged trophy for a department store of some kind.
every monarch I've had has had that plate on the bb.

I was thinking monark too for some reason because of the chainring,It has a new departure hub on it now,but also came with a bendix red-band hub as an extra.

Looks like the serial is something like 6??414, which dates it to 1949. -Adam

Looks like serial is 063(9-M)414 to be more helpful Looks to be a 9 or M but thats just from reading to many of these faded things over the years

Looks like it reads "A0644414"
