I have mentioned this one before - 1949 B507 Tourist. Purchased from original owners family, never ridden. It is absolutely the nicest original bike I own. I have all the paperwork from the response to the color request that was answered (and signed by) Frank Schwinn, to the guarantee card, as well as a lot of email and conversation with the Father and surviving brother who I made the deal with. This is without a doubt the winner of most original in my stuff, though there are a couple of others. This one is now celebrating its' tenth year of retirement here in Florida.
EDIT: I failed to mention that the tires and tubes on this bike are still the originals. I kept all the original parts on this one because it was just to nice to change, which is why the marks on the seat are still there. Otherwise, that perfectly re-done Bob U seat would be sitting on the seatpost instead of the shelf.

'49 B507 Tourist = More photos after reassembly:
The tires are as soft as a baby's butt - at the time of these photos I had not yet dressed them with protectant. Original valve caps!
Left seat alone, but have a nice re-done ( Bob U.) one on hand in case I change my mind. I keep applying the seat preservative to it.

I like original paint survivors, you don't have to prep and paint. Just clean and lube!

This 1924 Mead built Shapeigh Rugby lived most of its life in a south side basement until I rescued it in 2014.
