Winged Head Badge

[Shannonc]

Need help to ID a bike. Dug out an old Schwinn out of a barn out from behind a bunch of chairs and tractor parts today. Has the winged Schwinn head badge. Can someone let me know what years Schwinn used the winged head badge? Its a single speed road bike, it's too dark now to look at serial number. ll post pics and serial number tomorrow, also got an old tandem but there is not a head badge on it. Thanks for the help.

Schwinn racer was the most common use of this badge... you said road bike; but, single speed.... To get good help you will need photos and serial number. Folks here will have your answers!

Thanks, I'll post more when I can. The bike is pretty beat but it was cheap and the old guy I got it from was fun to talk to, plus he has three barns full of cool old stuff to rummage through.

Guessing mid 50's through around 61. Popular on Travelers.

My 1953 and 1961 Traveler both have winged badges. Roger
