Looks like a Cleveland Welding bike, probably early to mid 50s (just a guess).
See what brand coaster brake it uses, that might provide a better hint at the age. Also look for a serial number on the bike frame.

I wish you could look this up by serial number grrrr! Mines an earlier model, I THINK it MAY be a 1940 pageboy bike but there are a few dfferences from the pictures I have seen of those. My serial is MI310124. Wondering if it's Michigan...? Grrrr I don't know. Why did they even bother with the numbers if they are sooo useless now...?
