Advice: 195x schwinn traveler

[GTs58]

Another one said to be a 56. https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/schwinn-1956-traveler.93166/

If any of these have a September or earlier 56 SN then I'd have to say this decal package began on the 56 model year.

I can't quite make out the serial number.

Good Discussion. I have decided to provide additional photos.

This is what the condition of my decals look like up close.

And also my serial number:

When purchased used it also had this generator and headlamp. (Note: They were moved onto another bike).

I hope this additional information helps.

Thanks for posting the pic of the decal and the SN. Do you have a good shot of the seat mask decal? If the decals on your bike are original that would indicate that the decal scheme on the Traveler was changed for the 56 model year and not for the 57 model year.

Seat Mask Decal?I'm not familiar with that term, but have the bike in my hallway and could take additional photos.

edit: I think I figured it out. This is whats left of the decal under the tube that leads to the seat. There is not much left.

Yah, me either. lmao ... Seat mast or seat tube. But I never ever call a Ballooner a heavyweight.

Sure looks like original markings to me! So 56 it is!
