Schwinn B-6

[stingrayjoe]

I have a one owner blue and cream men's B-6 that was not properly cared for in life. I am trying to determine what year? It has a tapered kickstand and the serial # on bottom hanger is F119573 and the crank casting #s are AS&Co 14, 3520-A1.

Usually the bikes with the tapered kick stands are 1946 models.

I have been told they were used in early 1947 also.

Anyone know a year from the information provided?

I'm surprised it has a tapered stand.

Had these photos stored on another device.

Interesting to see the taillight as well. I usually associate that with a '49 model. Are you sure the stand is tapered? Hard to tell from the pics. V/r Shawn

Today I removed the kickstand and upon closer inspection and measuring it shows it has been ground down and rusted over. That made me think it looked tapered. Kookie!

Thank you, to all that replied.

Finally finished all I will to this one.
