So anyway Bill your first clue on the Traveler is the Japan mark and it is a lugged frame. According to catalogs The lugged japan Traveler it was introduced in 1975. Albet it's reported; japan frames for Schwinn began around 1970, their japan traveler wasn't until 75.

Japan frames are a little tricky as month and year may be the 1st two numbers or letters yet could be within the 1st three too. Perhaps the early Japan frames are within the 1st 3 IDK. But in your case it's the 1st two;

"A0". A = January and 0 = 1980. (I. E. B is Feb, C = March. and following the letter; 1 is 1981, 2 =1982, etc.)

In the future use this site for dating em B/C the auto site has a poor or incomplete and unreliable, (1,ooo's of people screw up, due to its nonsense) algorism that's screwy. (even multiple 40's through 70's frames too!).: http://www.re-cycle.com/History/Schwinn/SwnB_Serial.aspx

Thanks dude I totally missed the japan on the head badge!!! Also the style of head badge! The lamp looks 60’s to me but it could be an add on! Thanks to all!
 
Something called angel fire!
No, the anglefire site is a very good too. However, subject to comprehension [Grin] Read their notice or disclaimer: ""THIS CHART APPLIES TO CHICAGO SCHWINN`S ONLY.".http://www.angelfire.com/rant/allday101/SchwinnCodes1.html/

No worries Bill, everybody gotta get a learning, even the Know it all's bragging on them selves, albeit put up dumb A fights and personal attacks even fer years, get learned [wink] at The CABE too..

My junk guy had this for me! It totally reminds me of my dad!! After using those old school patch kits that you had to light on fire dad would let me use one just like this one to air up the tire! Good times! We were a schwinn household!!!

Man I remember my dad's oldest brother my uncle Maynard had a old tire pump like that he used to pump up tires on his old Cushman scooter. I wish i could have found that pump after he passed. Really cool old pump. Enjoy.. Razin.
