what kinda bike is this !???

In case you are unaware of what the image is, it is of the wicked witch in the 1939 wizard of oz. I tried looking on google, the bike is not identified anywhere. There is a slim chance that someone here who knows pre-war bikes may be able to identify it or at least hazard an educated guess, but I would find that highly doubtful. Her skirt is so encompassing that you can't see much of the frame.
 
A pretty typical ladies frame popular from the late 1890’s through the 1930’s...

It is interesting that the chain guard looks American, but the front rod pull brake look English/European?

What appears to be chrome parts, 26" tires, and the chain guard design suggest it’s from near the end of that era.

But unless someone comes up with a good shot of the head badge it is gonna be hard to identify!

my guess, from what looks like a star shaped front chainwheel, and the long headtube, is it's an Iver Johnson.
