Cool, post a pic of the arm if you can, and the front hub too.

Interesting.. I wonder if this is real early post war, using up parts type of bike. Blackout stuff indicates war time and did Schwinn use skiptooth at all after the war?

 

[bricycle]

late war time?

Yes to skip-tooth; that OG Starlet, which caused a stir, with weird head badge was a real late 1952 frame... probably early 1953 'model'... had skip-tooth, I got to check, but I think maybe Morrow hub...

I posted BB located serial number for this 1946... it's five digits only after the initial "B"... so, who's developing a serial number base for 1940-1948 mid year, serial numbers?

Sent you a PM on your serial number.

Just called drop center rims. Gnarly rust on that kickstand. Hope that fork straightens out okay.
Cheers, Geoff

I bought a 1946 DX unequipped [I do have chain-guard] 26" boys Schwinn [18" frame], today. I know it does not have the proper size [balloon] tires on it... I haven't been able to clean front hub yet... Is this a Schwinn Rim [pre-S7 era]???

NEED the experts...

I am no expert, but these look to be Schwinn rims. If they have knurling on the center of the rims they are Schwinn rims. Hopes this helps. Good luck> Razin.

I just recently bought a 46 myself.
