Prewar schwinn serial list

I thought 37' too but It's a cantilever frame and I knew they didn't come out until 38".

Revisiting this thread as I get ready to rehab this frame and build. Does the A in the serial # give an idea as to what is the year of this frame?
A63525

Thanks in advance

This serial was on a Double Bar Roadster I saw today, The original owner had just passed away and I met his Daughter. The Morrow hub date(G1) was 1st quarter ‘37 and I believe original to the bike. Machine stamped, small font serial #T51126. I think it was a 1937.

I agree on the '37.... Question - Are my eyes giving me the runaround or is that a 20" frame (B68)?
Added to the spreadsheet. Thanks!

I wasn’t sure but I thought it might be so I measured it when I had the chance....6” headtube. Chime in!

In case you don't know this, you can get the frame size by measuring from the top of the seat tube to the middle of the cranks.

Thanks, and yes, I am aware of that. I also know that some prewars have longer seatposts (around 19") than "normal" even though they aren't the tall frame bikes. The headtube measurement is the most accurate way to know if a prewar schwinn is a tall (20" frame measured at the seat tube) or a regular 18" (but sometimes 19" or more seat tube)
I couldn't find it when I put up the post but here's a thread discussing the tall/regular/short differences, including pics. https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/is-this-a-1936-schwinn.38736/ This was a tall frame.

I figured you did, being a King Size guy, but even if you did I figured it's never bad to spread that info .
