I think the serial numbers jumped to the lower head tube, after 1965. So if it's not on the dropout, check the head tube. With the old flush fit metal reflector holder on the back, I would guess late fifties to early 60's?
Thanks - didn't know about the serial number possibly being on the head tube. I just thought I was missing something when I couldn't find it on the drop out or anywhere around there.
