It looks like this bike was probably built by ERNEST.F.RUSS. Any info on how his numbering system worked would be appreciated. It would be nice to narrow down the date this bike was built.

I need to take a hard look at the numbers on the BB shell and the back of the fork crown. It looks like they are probably the same and my guess at an initial read on each was different, but it was iffy in both cases. I think by using clues from both I may be able to get a better read.
