Unknown E Stay frame

With those dropouts it's certainly a cheapo. Almost certainly Hi-Tensile steel & most likely flexy as all buggery!

Still, it'd make a nice single-speed pub bike! 8)
 
I asked the guy if there were any identifying marks or stamps and what the serial number is. He says there are no marks but has given me the serial number.
It's of no help to me but someone here may be able to decipher it. Is it good form to post it here?

Yes, is the short answer.

Yes, is the short answer.

Then it is A920655274. I'm guessing A92 means January 1992?
 
Great website! I LOVE the old e-stay bikes!

I'm new to this forum, so I can't post a URL yet, but ratrodbikes website has pics of a F.S. Elite made by Sears (whatever happened to Roebuck?) that looks to be identical.

Google
"inexpensive department store "mountain style" bike"
and it's about the fourth link down.
