1930s Motorbike Tank

[Frosty]

1930s Schwinns motorbike tank. Got this on consignment / trade hoping to get $2,000 but will consider offers. Had some guys on Facebook chime in and state it was a reproduction. But today an old bike friend who's been in the game for a long time told me there is no way that's a reproduction and I should post it on the Cabe. So here it is. I personally truly have no idea if it is or not. So feel free to chime in if you have some info to support it being reproduction. On FB old bikes club I was told it was made by a guy named Taylor Carlson in the mid 90s. In Germany.
Local Schwinn Guru said nos replacement tank made in the mid 30s3to 1940.
