Schwinn early postwar, just as bobcycles said. I learn something new all the time. I guessed the numbers started with "A" when they went to the forward facing dropouts after the war. I guessed that by estimating how many bikes were built and backing up the letters from the 1948-1952 known numbers. That idea works well if they started with "A" and progressed. But yours , being a "K", didn't fit that sequence. The serial number lookup looks at it as if the serial number is on the dropout, that's why it incorrectly says 1953. My frame is also a "K" but the number is on the dropout, so it's a 53.
I checked the paint schemes from 46 to 52. Your paint matched up with the 1946 illustrations I found, different from the later ones. Now I need to learn more about the frames. I thought they were all identical cantilever frames, except for the later middleweight and also the king size frames of the 60's.

Hola I like to see more post like this because the Schwinn Company don't discarded parts from the war time era! Also the automotive and others neither! But the big difference it's Schwinn started to use the new updates for the postwar era and some models came whit both parts paint etc!!! This is one example I had one B6 model ttain/plane badge that came w front springer w lock also drop center rims and reverse paint ivory plus burgundy or some call maroon! But I trade for a prewar CT! I will search the photos at the cloud to post!!!
