Prewar White Schwinn oval grips?

[cyclingday]

My 41 Super Deluxe came with the White type oval script grip, so they were available prewar 40/41.
I have also seen original Red and Gum rubber.
The Gum type really didn’t stand the test of time, so those are ultra rare.

Also, noting that these are reproduction junk and not the same thing.

After some light cleaning with dawn and a nylon brush.

Original pair from 1941 Autocycle.

Wow, those are fantastic. Thanks for posting.

I believe the white grips posted above are the later post war issue. The grooves do not go to the end of the grip and they are identical to the grips in that 1950 ad that @rennfaron posted.

1941 issue BFG grip. Grooves to the ends and fat oval.

I just picked up this pair...judging by condition, you'd think they were pre-WWI. Lol
Darn....
