Nice bike, i collect swedish bikes, i have over 100 of them. This bike is not from the 30'ies, but somewhere between 1941-46. It's not made in Stockholm although the head badge might get you to think that. It's made in Uppsala by Nymans Verkstäder who bought the Nordstjernan brand in 1939 and continued the production as a badge engineering product similar to other Nymans bikes like Crescent, Hermes and many more. Nordstjernan was a old brand made by Anton Wiklundsmaskinverkstad in Stockholm. Hence AWMV in the chain wheel. Still, these bikes are really high-quality ones and very beautiful. You can date the bike by looking at the back wheel hub shell, which has a year stamp on it. The button under the head badge locks the front wheel in a straight position to avoid damage on the front fender when parking.
