1930s Schwinn?

[TheBicycleJungle]

Hi everybody, My name is Ryan. I've been into bicycles for 10 years. I've seen discussion forums few years ago. I finally decided that i should join and here I am. I'm glad to help you out if need, and Im sure I'll have alot to learn here! I'm looking forward to it.

Now, I just bought this bike. I know it's a schwinn but can anybody identify what year and model it is? The headbadge says "the world". Im not sure if it's a correct headbadge. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
-Ryan

HI it's beautiful I think you're going to need one of the Schwinn guru's for this one. I think your bike is going to fall into that dark ages area of before the fire at the schwinn factory I believe in 1947 or so. they'll have to figure it out by the bikes characteristics. good luck and welcome.

howdy,'37-'39 non equipped autocycle/ba97. round fender braces,key out the side locking truss fork are the giveaways. tank,rack,fender bomb are going to cost you some bread,also needs pre war autocycle/phantom-type rear fender reflector,too. pull the crank,some of them will have as,and the date,some have the # 501 on them. hope this helps,keith at cycleplanes"r"us
p.s. serial #,date on the crank will let you know whether it takes a chrome hockey stick,or deluxe winger chain guard,too. nice score!

Wow! A 1937-39 Autocycle. Ok, that's a lot of bread to spend on gathering parts. Hmm! I'll check on crank to find out for which guard should fit in.

Thanks for the welcome!
