Re: old Chainless bicycle

I'll second the Midwest name for this bicycle. Midwest usually did have a big M on their front decal. Murray always spelled their name out. I'm thinking late 1950s to early 1960s for this bicycle. Something is off with the original owner's story because there's no way a bicycle with this design is 75 or more years old. Both large and small bicycles of the 1930s were designed completely different. Hope you didn't pay a lot for it thinking it was that old.
