I was told 45 or 46, please let me know your thoughts? Please disregard the motor.

Maybe more pics of the other side.  Be interesting to see what bolt holes are on the vertical brace.  Would help determine what air breather it may have had.

Also, post higher quality pictures so we can focus in on the details.

View Dave Cocina's' 1947 in the restorations category.     "servi-cycle 47 number 2"   

Looks a lot like yours.

I am calling it 1946 or maybe early to mid 1947  Your bike doesn't have the lower hole for the '48 style breather that was used on late 47s

Pic from H16218.  Nearly the end of 1947 models
