The bike has painted drop center wheel and a skip tooth sprockets which makes me think early post war but the online serial number charts doesn't show the B serial number prefix
Post war Schwinns had forward facing rear dropouts, built in kickstands on some models, independent seat post clamps and chainguard mounting tabs. That's just a few of the most obvious changes. I'm still trying to find out the first year the bottom bracket tube was electro-forged.
Do you know what year Schwinn started electro forging the bottom bracket shell? As you can see in the pic above this bike's shell was EF. So as early as 46-47, how about prewar?
Location of serial number makes it '51 or earlier. Looks like a fatbar to me, which would make it a '46. If the center curved tube is the same diameter as the top tube, then it's a '46.
