I have the serial number, but I’m having a hard time cracking the code.

6Serial number is not so useful. Get a photo of the headbadge (front of bike) first of all, that should be a good clue if it's original. – Noise May 30 '22 at 07:43

Headbadge, like @JoeK mentioned. Beyond that, any written details on the parts. Such as, name or model branding on the handlebars, stem, rims, hubs, pedals, crankarm, chainring/crankset, the coaster brake. You may not find much, but you never know. Any additional detail in this kind of research can help with identification and possibly the vintage. – Ted Hohl May 30 '22 at 17:00

Looks like a department store bike from maybe 1970. – Daniel R Hicks May 31 '22 at 00:17

There is no code for most bike serial numbers. It is not a VIN. Much more info at https://bicycles.stackexchange.com/questions/32872/ – Criggie Nov 02 '22 at 22:03

I'll note that the stripes on the fenders seem familiar -- Sears, Western Union, or some such. – Daniel R Hicks Nov 04 '22 at 01:24
