Looks like a hornet. Decent original not bad price

D-12 Standard. Other than the fairy grips, it looks unmolested.

Super nice D12. Always wanted a black one.

Or D-13 with the truss rods but don’t see holes for a fender light. Maybe truss rods were optional for D-12. Nice to see chrome S-2 rims on a standard bike. Set up much like my 50.

Another hornet.. At first I thought it was the same bike.. This one is a repaint.. Pins are a little off but looks nice..

Torpedo light and truss rods were an option on the D models.

Actually a "B" model bike, not a Hornet, but a "fat bar" that could have been built up as a deluxe Autocycle...
most likely early postwar... Big difference between Schwinns B model line and D
Nice amateur effort to bring that bike somewhat... price is not out of line for the bike and the effort
