Any guesses on manufacturer?

So I doubt this is possible, but is there any way to find out who made a bike if there are no labels? Just got this bike that needs some work, was wondering who made it. Where would I find a serial number if there was one on it?

I'm new here btw

It looks like your generic $100 dept. store bike. Serial number check around the bb area.

looks to be newer than late 80s.
with the flared downtube/ head tube join.

Theres likely to be etched writing on the fork steerer. But that may only mean the fork was made by that company.

Does it really matter? It would be questionable as to who really made it even if it had stickers. As was said, it's a generic bike, generic parts should work fine.
