BF2485, what a sweet 1945 early pre post bike! I have an early 1946 Schwinn that I posted on another Schwinn group a couple weeks ago in hopes to find out what I really had. Received some great information back from that group. I found out it was an early 1946 and it had the incorrect fenders and obviously I intend to make a restoration project bike. That said, I went on Marketplace to see if I could find the correct fenders for that manufacturing date era. I found your 1945 Schwinn to get a visual comparison of what fenders should look like that match for my bike. Lol, as luck would have it, I did not save your Marketplace ad, then could not find it again, happy I found it again on CABE! My bike is (serial #B49365). Still looking for correct fenders (front fender with flare out at the bottom) if anyone knows of any. Thanks! I have attached pictures of my bike serial number and pictures of the welds on my bike. The other numbers I have been told are some type of registration numbers for identification.
