Prewar schwinn serial list

-
Another one that might be of interest, this is a straight bar frame that I no longer own. It had J1311 stamped unevenly (hand-stamped?) on the bottom of the crank, and had a fork lock that faced straight back, indicating 1936.

Probably, or possibly early 38 using older stock. Post up the whole bike, maybe there are other clues that might help.
I’m ashamed to show pictures as it’s just infested with generic components. I’m wondering if the even the rims are correct or not.
I pulled the crank and it’s Wald too.

Yeah not a lot to go on there. You're pretty safe saying it's a '37, or at least what is left of it.
 
I picked up this double bar last fall. By serial number I think it is a 37. This week I had the BB apart and found the crank dated 36. Probably a left over crank or late 36 made bike. The bike has been repainted but a little maroon and white shows through in small spots. It is slowly getting cleaned up. All bearings done now. Have a key thanks to Wes. I think it will get a repaint and pins sometime. I need a badge, maybe something NOS if I repaint it. The hard part will be smoothing out the fenders, rear is dented almost every inch of it.

The fender braces and chainguard tell us it’s a 37.
 
I bought this roadster recently, it doesn’t seem to fit the list, unless I’m reading it incorrectly.

I believe the flat fender braces and straight back lock on the fork date it to ‘36. Crank arm is dated ‘36 as well. Previous owner added the chain guard, it was missing when originally found.
