Got this Monark built Elgin Oriole doing a “Revival” on it. Got rid of the red 2 tone. Gave it a good clean and grease. Need to finish some small things, seat and rebuild the pedals do some pin stripping and re lace the wheels with some triple step hoops but coming along.

Hello,
I am trying to find the serial number to figure out what year Schwinn I have here but I am not finding a serial number. Not on the rear drop outs not under the crank or on the neck. Any ideas? Any help would be great thanks. Heavy duty spokes seems it may have been a Whizzer.
