Well I think it's only fitting that there be a thread about this topic. Post your observations.

Heres one to ponder over. Double diamond Schwinn mead ranger (1935 frame) with hanging gilled tank and a pan cake horn... So it has two horns?

Probably 37-38, remember rangers used lots of left over parts! So has to at least be a37

Notice horn button right next to the horn

Postwar canti with prewar type smoothie tank?

For years I had the idea that any 1958 Jag or Corvette to show up with the new 1959 issue Mayweg dual stage carrier was changed out by some previous owner. That was until I saw a few 1958 comic ads that had the new "59" Mayweg on the 58 Jag. This is one example of new parts being introduced in the previous year before they became standard issue. This change was obviously made in the 4th quarter.

Postwar Schwinn with top bar prewar paint scheme??

Hanging bolt on type tank with a silveray? Wahh??

No dual lights? Fender bomb replaces silveray on a motorbike?

Post war Schwinn dx Goodrich with a deluxe guard? Non slip tooth sweetheart chainring and Torrington pedals with vent on end caps?
