My apologies to Cliff for misrepresenting what he told me....I can see now that I was so convinced that this bike was late 1930's vintage, that when he told me my serial number did not fit in with other numbers he had from that period, I stopped listening and thought that perhaps I had something else. Sorry Cliff...I just need to learn to listen better :^( I took pictures of the bike last night and will post them later today...darn work is geting in the way right now.
thanks Michael davies
