Schwinn B10E odd Serial #

[danno180]

I picked up this B10E and it starts with a “5” but also has the letter “A”
Any ideas about the year?

Looks like it's 546642, the first 4 does have a bit of the front leaning line but looks more like mis-strike or could just be some later damage? Somebody who knows way more than me, (not hard) will come along and comment.

Serial numbers are not too odd for pre-1935.

Maybe the “A” is a “4”?

Here is something I found with Google, so it’s a 1933?

546,642 comes somewhat after 522,999

Does google cite any sources?

Looks like an AI generated answer.

The chart hasn’t been updated in a long time, but it would put it squarely in 1934 compared to other’s bikes. May be worth pulling the crank to see if it’s dated. That’s if it was never changed out.
