Can anyone name this bike?

Mom just showed me a pic of my grandma when she was a lot younger. I thought it was a good pic of her. I just don't know what bike she is on and both me and mom want to know. Remember this is my grandma so no drooling (That means you IG and T Blade:jerkit.

The Goldstar is a 500cc, single cylinder machine, if I remember correctly.

Well to me it looks like it says USA? But people here in Indiana can not see anyway.

Well when I was looking at the pic itself we couldn't tell what it said. Does anyone know the model of it?

I thought it was an old Goldstar, but there are other BSA cycles with that front end. The dress and hair look like late 1940's.
