early truss frame bike. need help?

[bon]

I got this early truss bicycle and am wondering maybe someone have the same or knows anything about it, has no badge but have two vertical badge holes, so definitely not an iver, rear stays are not the same with the columbia's. Chainring looks original to the bike. Fork maybe from another bike. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

I'll try to get some. Truss rods I think maybe original to the bike?

My gut is telling me to look into Emblem mfg. Or possibly World, by Schwinn.

we have the same gut feeling that it might be World by Schwinn but I can't find real pictures of this model of Schwinn, only pictures from brochures. maybe someone owns one here in the forum?

I saw this one on the net, showing the Model 1761 truss frame. but the chainring is the same as the Model 1760.

My hunch is Emblem/Snyder/Pierce.
Emblem and Pierce had truss rods with a swoop similar to yours.

The chain ring is not the same as Schwinn.
The Schwinn chainring has teardrop-shaped cutouts in the spokes of the 6-pointed star
and the crank arms line up between the star spokes.
Your chainring has coffin-shaped cutouts in the spokes of the 6-pointed star
and the crank arms line up on the spokes of the star.

maybe someone knows which bike used these chainrings? Here are some pics when I got the bike
