1955 Flying Star Pictures Please

[Flingdangle]

Hi,
I just purchased what I believe to be a 1955 Flying Star with a straight bar frame. 26" It is a middle weight frame. I would like to restore it and was hoping that somebody would post a bunch of pictures of an original bike for me. I would especially like to see pictures of the pedals, front and rear fenders because I believe that my fenders have been trimmed as they are shaped differently that any of my balloon tire fenders. The bike that I received came with a feather guard. I haven't seen any pictures of a Flying Star with that guard on it. Did the 1955 come with an actual Flying Star badge? Or were they available? I would post pictures of what I've got but unfortunately I'm pretty limited with computers.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Bob

Click on this link to the 1955 Schwinn catalog page for the Flying Star https://bikehistory.org/catalogs/1955.html#flyingstar Being able to post pics would be extremely helpful-not that hard

How's this?

Not a '55 Flying Star. Clean the serial number area up a bit so we can see what it says.

that doesn't look like this at all.

Serial #U25636

With that late of serial number I'm thinking '56 Flying Star

Roger that. I'm hoping somebody will post some closeups of their Flying Star. Thank you Freqman1

Here's one that was for sale. I can guarantee there are many parts that aren't original. But the fenders look correct.

Hi all I have this nice middle weight. Original tires and S7 wheels. Bike can be ridden as is but should be gone thru to make it a nice daily rider. Has a Bendix 2 speed, schwinn script front hub, schwinn script seat post, and a schwinn bell. Wheels spin with no problems. Minimal fender...
