What have we here?

[Jim McConnell]

I hope this dosen't post twice because I tried to do this already so here goes.
I recently aquired this smalllittle bike.jpg frame thinking it was a BSA but now am not sure. It is a plunger frame with telescopic front fork. The plungers have acorn shaped caps at the top & bottom. It has 19 inch rims, a center stand (no side stand), & zirk style lube fittings near the bottom of the fork tubes.
There is a serial number beginning with the letters DS (can't make out the rest of it yet) on the left side of frame at the fork neck.
Can anybody tell me what make & how old it is? Thanks!

Bill,
Thanks for the reply. I bought this to save it from destruction not knowing what to do with it. If you are interested in it let me know & also where you are located. I, myself, am in western Maryland. Here are a couple of additional pics if they can help you out. If you want to call me: 301 777 3687 (home phone).
