Early Schwinn New World - '41?

[schwinndler]

Picked this up yesterday and I'm nerding out on it. From what i read online it seems to be around a '41. Could members chime in with some knowledge??? Seems to have the characteristics of some of the earlier new worlds....

Grips and wheels seem to be the uncommon type...any good value in parts?

Would it make sense to sell as a whole bike??? Maybe restore and ride in time....

Do you have any pictures? A good picture is worth a thousand words.

It looks like you did add them, they're showing up now. Most of it looks correct for a pre-war bike, but the fenders are later. Wheels and rims look original, if you gently clean the rims they may be marked. Schwinn started using "Schwinn Superior" rims not long before the war, before that they were using some that may have been Lobdells, but I'm not sure who the maker was.
