This ones gonna polish up good! Do you guys know if the Perry hub was a standard or an optional hub fir this year? I’ve usually seen ND hubs on these bikes! It’s got a date of 12-7-1950

Nice bike Gary! I have never seen a Perry hub on a bike that early. Very interesting??

Nice original paint! Not sure when the hub was put in to production, but I took a Perry hub off a 1953 Schwinn.

@PlasticNerd Check for a date code on the top of your Perry brake arm.

November 1950! That matches your time frame.

My June 55 Spitfire’s Perry is dated May 55. Have seen several old Schwinns with Perry hubs.
