Wore out three sets of tires already!
Here is the bike detailed and back together. I wet sanded the frame with 8K, compound polished it, and waxed the paint; cleaned and polished all the other parts; greased the headset and bottom bracket and reassembled. These Campy wheels spin like they are brand new, pretty amazing. A friend is sending me some vintage gum wall sew ups and it should be about done. I'd like to get a correct period type seat post and maybe a Brooks leather saddle.
I now believe the tri color band decals are Wastyn and that Bill's wife added the "Hat in the Ring" and head tube Schwinn decals. They will certainly remain as part of the cool history.
The blue bike is a 30's Oscar Wastyn Special and it's very similar to mine, same lugs and tri color decals.
