Those Beckwith bikes do not look like Schwinn's... and that front badge would have the wrong mounting holes for a Prewar or Postwar Schwinn? I could be wrong (Mead Ranger style)

You just never can tell. It depends on the era and who they were buying bikes from at the time. Most outfits sold many brands of bikes through the years.

Believe it or not, Sears and Montgomery Wards sold Schwinn bikes. Sears stopped selling them after making Schwinn mad because Sears asked Schwinn to make a cheaper model bike that didn't last so long. Ha Ha Ha

I've also seen numerous hole patterns on Schwinn bikes, they did what the customer wanted.
