Look Ma, No Hands!
This little lady belonged to my great aunt but was given to our family by her son after she passed away. I've got my hands full trying to clean up several bikes right now but I think this one is really worth my time and effort since it had belonged to a family member.
I found the serial number and found out that it was used twice for some reason so this is either a 1952 or a 1957 Schwinn. I've got a good guess of what model this is but I really don't want to embarrass myself if I was way off. I've cleared away two layers of paint on the chainguard to see if there was a name underneath but all I found was red paint and some white pin-striping, perhaps I got a bit too enthused and wiped the label right off or whoever painted it wiped it off.
Also curious as to what style badge I need to look, there's a bracket for one but it's missing.
(Sorry about the pix, it was getting dark out)
