Wore out three sets of tires already!
Here is a near-mint full color Schwinn dealer catalog from 1938 that shows their complete line of bikes, interestingly with many shown in reverse color schemes, and introducing the Spring Fork and the Feather Guard for 1938. Twenty pages.
I purchased this one from Larkin (mcdillis on the CABE) who purchased it directly from James Hurd and Richard Schwinn at a Schwinn auction in the early 1990’s. This was part of Schwinn’s literature collection.
Condition is Near Mint in my opinion. There is subtle waviness running vertically on the right edge that could be carefully worked out, and small areas of foxing on some of the pages. Corners are crisp, no chips or tears, and the color is vibrant as printed with zero fading. The Schwinn bicycle imagery of the period is as good as it gets, see below for a tease. If you don't have it already, it's a must-have. For the Schwinn afficianado.
