Strange looking handlebar stem or is it for a 46 Schwinn?

I believe that was a pretty common stem during those times.

That was a typical stem on the regular girls bike.

For what it's worth, I believe that stem was also used on some of the juvenile bikes also.

Stem

I had a 48 schwinn 26" ballooner with the same stem.
