Nice write up on the welds, Mike. Another place you would see smoothed out brass welds (brazed) would be on a Superior or a tandem. These were more expensive and warranted a higher degree of finish.
WRT the "World " decals: My first ever adult bike was a 1954 Traveler. It did NOT say "world" in the winged decals. And I think 1954 was the first year of this.
Yes, from what I’ve seen, in 1954 the down tube decal was changed to the name of the bike model - so “Traveler” or “Varsity.” At some point (must have been ‘55 or ‘56) the down tube decal was the same as the top tube “Schwinn” decal.

Once I worked out the bugs with the headset( was binding so I switched out the lower bearing and upper collar), now it’s perfect. What an incredible rider!!
