Why do you think the frame is 1939?

I haven't found exactly what the suffix is yet, the closest I can guess would be the 1939 O, only with the bottom buffed off. Not really sure at all though.

Tom,

I don't think it is an o. It's more likely a q. Both were used in 1939.

But neither can define a year as they were used in multiple years.

To do that you must have more details about the frame itself.

Why do you think it is from 1939?

What you show could be from a half dozen different years.
