Can someone identify age and value of this Murray PaceMaker bicycle?

This bike belonged to my mother. Since she was born in 1930 I would assume the bike is from the early 40's, ie pre-war. I have some photos of my mother with this very bike somewhere, as far as provenance goes.

All I know is that it is a PaceMaker ladies bike.

It's in rusted condition due to it being stored many many years in the barn. But I think it would make for a great restoration job.

I am still trying to locate the seat. I saw it a month ago or so so I know it's around here somewhere.

Any help would be appreciated!

Would anyone know whether this bike is a Murray or a RoadMaster?

I cannot help you with the brand, but looking at the cranks makes me agree with you that it is from the 40's.

Another forum identified the bike as being a Cleveland Welding Company (CWC) RoadMaster PaceMaker from either 1939 or 1940.
