Does anyone know if the two-piece bimetal stem is a Schwinn item?

Some Schwinn lightweights up through 1961 exhibit stems produced by CENTRIX of France who offered both steel and alloy stems & bars.

This red bike looks like it has the correct flip-flop two-piece "AS" stem for the late 1940s Continental.

Here's what my 1946 looks like. (I have the top of the saddle, which was off when I purchased it). Really is a nice riding bike!

@Slick4d4d I just saw that you're also on Long Island. Small world!

@Slick4d4d Did you ever get a chance to clean up the bike? We'd love to see it!
