Default My Grandma Ride's Harley 1930's

Yep this is my grandma. Anyone know what year Harley she's on?



OK, My Granny is on the Harley, the other girls are co-workers. The pic was taken at McCalls Corp. Dayton, Oh.
My Granny lived to be 100, died 2006, I got the pic from my Mom, She's 75. That's about all I know.

Looks like a late 20's J model to me.

Taking another look at the pic. I don't think it's a "J". The lower fender mount bracket on the J's kind of looped downward and then went from the forks to the fender. So now I'm thinking perhaps a 1930 but the primary cover doesn't look quite right for that year either....I'm soooo confused.

I beleive your correct. It sure looks close. It also looks like there are some "add on's".
I wonder if they called it "The Stealer" back then?
