I believe this is the first badge Schwinn used when they started selling bikes in 1896 (yea I know they were founded in 1895) but I'm just wondering what was the last year of use of this badge? @sm2501 @catfish @aasmitty757 @bobcycles @barnyguey @hoofhearted V/r Shawn

I’ve got this 1917 catalog, and although it’s just an artists rendering, it does look like the World Banner badge was still being used well into the late teens.

Thanks Marty// @catfish curious why you think that is the first one. I have never seen that badge in any of the early literature. V/r Shawn
