Late War Schwinn New World

[SirMike1983]

The green one I had may well have been so. It had a lot of black out parts on it. This red one looks a little earlier, but not a lot- perhaps a year or so.

Looks like a tapered kickstand which was used in 1946.

I've been doing some research on the early New Worlds and I find this BB really odd since Schwinn was EF the chain stays to the BB during war time. I've also seen a 1946 Ballooner with the chain stays and down tube EF to the BB. Maybe that particular EF process wasn't perfected enough during this time and Schwinn went backwards.

I just finished the restoration of a either late 1945 or 1946 Schwinn New World. Original paint. View attachment 625650View attachment 625651View attachment 625652View attachment 625653View attachment 625654View attachment 625655
