The serial number is R937531, I was told that it was a 1937. It appears that it could easily be that year or a year close to it, but then again, I am not a bicycle expert.

1937 Miyata

I have what I believe is a 1937 Miyata in really beautiful original condition, it may even have the original tires on it. Does anyone have any idea what a bike like this is worth?
