That's a gorgeous bike. Chain looks a little bit slack is all, and mind out any batteries in the "tank" don't leak. – Criggie Jul 18 '17 at 21:03

Almost certainly prior to 1970. But how much before is hard to guess. Could easily be from the late 1940s. (But if I had to take a stab I would say 1957.) – Daniel R Hicks Jul 18 '17 at 23:04

Use this as a guide. My guess is that you'll use the answer that refers to back catalogues and fan websites: https://bicycles.stackexchange.com/q/47078/11160 – RoboKaren Jul 19 '17 at 03:54

Skiptooth cranks and lack of CPSC reflectors are a guide and really should be in the reference question... – RoboKaren Jul 19 '17 at 03:55

It looks a lot like this 1941 Elgin Pilot Deluxe Special
Bent seat tube, fork support, style of chainguard, fenders, seat, chainring, rear dropouts
Similar wishbone seat stays, seat post
The originally posted bike is missing the rack and does not have the kickstand - the the rear dropout is a similar shape and looks like it would have supported the pictured kickstand. The handlebars, grips and trim paint are different - possibly older or newer style than the original post
