I picked this up several years ago and never got around to doing anything with it. Life got in the way of projects and now it's time to figure out what I'm doing with all of this stuff! Removed the obviously incorrect parts and looking for info as to what it is? Model? Year? It is Original Paint, frame, Locking Fork w/ Key and tank, Fenders are also in original paint, Dog Leg Cranks are not dated. Any Help appreciated.

Nice! That looks all OG to me. I'd say somewhere around the 1939/1940 mark.

Can't really read the serial number. Might be from 1940?

Love the tank graphics, not commonly seen. The fenders have the scallops that turn into the pinstripes. Seems that was an option from pre war through the fifties.

I've seen others with that paint scheme, know little about it. Hope others chime in.

Schwinn's aren't oddballs, just some of their owners......

Pretty rad. The fender and tank paint schemes are great. I'll let you store it at my house while you're figuring out what to do with it.
Cheers, Geoff

That's going to make a great project. I'd love to have another prewar schwinn.
