Serial # What Year is This?

[ninolecoast]

I’ve looked at the reference guide that’s posted here but
It seems my serial # doesn’t correspond to
1934 -36 X07486

Any and all help is appreciated.

What a spectacular piece! :eek:

I'm still learning and a student of these early prewar serial numbers and definitely not an expert, but I'll give you my assessment. That stamping is one of the nicest looking hand stamped serial numbers that I've seen or it's one of the first that was machine stamped. I'm going with a machine stamping so my guesstimate is that's a late 1936 serial. I bet @Freqman1 would like to see this one.

Thank You.
I never paid any attention to it until I saw the post about the “stripped” Aerocycle the other day. I tried reading the # last night using a flashlight shining across the BB. I came up with that #. The stamping looked small and one to many #’s.
I buffed off the paint this morning.

I'm not sure what to make of that but it looks like a '38 number. Obviously Schwinn did not build Aerocycles in 1938 but it sure doesn't look like a '35-6 serial to me. @bobcycles @cyclingday @markivpedalpusher @Autocycleplane @Obi-Wan Schwinnobi @mr.cycleplane and all other Schwinn gurus!

Yeah, it looks like a 38 number to me too.
What does the top tube of the frame look like inside the tank?

I’m wondering if it’s a later frame that’s been modified...

It looks like it.
The seat collar looks like the later version.
