Hanno, Thank for the input. The link you posted is a wealth of information. This woman's bike of mine has a small frame: rides nicely but my 6' height makes it a bit awkward to ride. Maybe the 26" wheels suited the smaller frame. The War Grade tires screamed out that it is a WW2-era bicycle. The women's model would have been a lower production and hence not commonly seen today. I will be careful to determine the degree of original paint: no plans to "restore" it.
