Riding a 41 Super Deluxe
Im pretty sure someone in the schwinn factory got confused on this one. Its a cantilever frame with kickstand tube with post 48 angle position....the pencil tip stand was most likely heated and bent to ride along the wheel stay(see pic of the bend). I am assuming this sort of thing took place when pencil tip stands were switched over to new stands at the time....maybe this was a left over frame in 48? Id be curious to know if other 1947s had this done to fix the problem....if you have a 1947 dated schwinn...check it out and post a pic if you have the same bent stand....hope that poor worker didnt get fired...ill bet the final assembly dept lost productivity time over this small detail....
