Prewar Schwinn - need info

[Luckykat32]

I would think the head tube/top tube and bottom tube joints along with the style of fork and vertical head badge screws would be a good indicator of when the bike was built. Serial looks like it's 57852.

This one appears to have all the same joint details and fork. Earlier than 33 I think. Weren't the tube joints on the 33's smooth like filet brazed?

I agree, that's why I mentioned I thought it was pre-33. I'm thinking mid 20s, but I was trying to nail down an exact year.

Pull out the crank. The year is usually cast into it.

Ahh, There you go, I had heard that before ,,that the date would be on the crank. Nice project for someone!

I would have thunk he already checked the crank.
