uwww-yeah! nice. i like those stems but i have broken 7 to date over a 40 year period. broke one last year. broke two in the past just getting them on bars! others broke riding and hit a drive-way curb or pot hole in the road. the main reason schwinn made their own stem. lately there have been horns showing up-hope you snagged one. jafco has the repro bracket for the stem top for ea/delta horn. ''he may be out of them''.......

What's an alternative that would be correct for a '36?

Although you could run a forged steel stem like the Wald #2 or#3(which have been main-stays since the turn of the century)......the "correct-o-mundo" stem is the Torrington 't' deco pot-metal stem you are running. Anything else would just not look right.

I’ve got one of each style of pre war Schwinn and this style rides the BEST. Loving the build. Bar and stem combo...

Well it has been a bit...lot of bike movement in the last year but not on this one. At least not directly...a few donor bikes along the way which finally landed a killer set of fenders so this build is back on again. Wheels are cleaned up, hubs rebuilt, and a new set of John's chain treads...starting to look like a bike!
