Stay tuned

Well, I'm not sure that's true.
I have a Paramount track frame dated as 50s which also has an A number. Supposedly they just started over every year with the numbers, so I've been told, the old style Paramounts are impossible to date from the numbers, more by the details of construction and lug shapes, even though they're all pretty similar.
You should find someone who knows those bikes and get an expert opinion; a 1938 would be very early.
EDIT:Hmm, looking at this list, maybe I'm wrong. I'll have to look at my number.
