Little help. Century Cycle Co. Not Schwinn.

Look Ma, No Hands!
I have read so many conflicting things about the ID of this bike, I had to come here. The Badge says Century.
Century Cycle company on the bottom. Not Schwinn. I get so many dates for this bike... Can anyone nail this down a bit more for me? Thanks in advance. And for petes sake i hope I've done this right!

Mike

I had one of those, and it was considered to be a 1937 Christmas special.
It's a Schwinn built C model, but was actually sold as the first of the DX line.
Schwinn would design a specific DX model for 1939, but this one was being marketed as a Christmas special in 1937.
The Century badge was just one of the many Jobbers that sold Schwinn built bikes.
Some badges have the AS&Co designation down at the bottom of the badge and some just have the Century Cycle Company on them.
