old bike identification

found this old bike in the barn and wanted to know what kind it was. there are a few things that are recognizable (pictures of all). it has plates instead of bars to mount the rear brake and kickstand. it has no spot for a nameplate on the front, but there appears to be one on each side of the fork. the rear brake cable goes through the top tube (inside). i have photos of the lugs as well. on a lot of the bikes I have seen, the top of the rear triangle (by the seat post) is flat at an angle, but on this bike it dents in. there is also a serial number on the underside of the bottom bracket that appears to be 503.474440
