I've pulled the steerer on what is reputed to be a 1952 Claud Butler. The serial number on the steerer is:

503 418

There is a veritcal mark before the second set, so it might be 1418.

Examining the BB shell with a flashlight, I now find it stamped with 503 as well, although the 5 is very hard to make out and is only confirmed by the steerer #. Can't find the 418 on the BB shell. Can anyone identify the model and year from the above information?
