New to me paint scheme.

[Mark Johnston]

I’ve never seen this pattern on a Schwinn frame before. Doesn’t show up in the 1941 catalog either. Perhaps it was a bike made by Schwinn for another company?
Does anyone have any insight?

Schwinn pre war BFG. Some of the BFG models had there own detailing and model names like Challenger. Check out the BFG thread. https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/lets-see-your-bf-goodrich-bikes.147292/

Looks like BFG filigree to me. Nice.

She wants it black so the paint is coming off. I’m taking measurements and photos so stencils can be made in this pattern though.

Just clean it. Find a rust bucket to strip down.
