Need help identifying a 1940s(?) B.F. Goodrich Schwinn bike

Strike that. I looked under the left rear drop out and it's H00127.

Here's when the serial was stamped so the bike is a 1953 model. Note the type error on the beginning number on the serial list. Should be H00001.
01/12 to 01/14/1953 ------- H60001 ----------------- H16956.

I'm still going to say that was originally a Hornet. Missing the tank and has a B model front fender.

You could not find it B/C all of the decals are new including, "Deluxe Hornet" belongs to a 54/55+ and not that chain guard. They're all stuck on after everything was brush painted, including the rims.
You've got some good parts on it but whoever did this made a mess.

Do you think this sticker is a new addition too? I wanted to sand and repaint the whole thing but I didn't want to mess this part up if it's old at all.

Parts of the frame were not repainted from what I can see, but it has been redecaled. Those seat mast decals are not original.

Sticker is crooked and there a dime a dozen
