Looks to me to have been built in March of 1952. Sometimes I have trouble reading the Schwinn date code list, but it also looks identical to a '52 Schwinn Hornet I have.

thank you for your help talewinds.wonder why the date code list has a Bxxxxx number in 1953 and1957?and how can you tell the different.

Ya that's the part that was throwing me off, but I've run into that once or twice before. I just rely on being able to visually identify the different eras of Schwinns. By the late 50's these bikes started to use some different components here and there.
