Any info about this continental bike, how much is worth?
What badge will be correct for it
 
That starburst badge may be correct on that Conti. There were a few where Schwinn installed that badge when they first came out. Looks like it's double taped but you should be able to tell if it was actually equipped with that badge by the black glue stuck on the head tube and hole placements. The regular badge was the round badge with two horizontal holes, AS in the center and Continental on the outside border and aluminum. Clean Continental with few parts change out. If I was in the market for one I'd do $350, even if the stem and seat are said to be worth hundreds more.
 
I have a Traveler that had the Starburst badge originally, the guy I bought it from said it was on the bike when he put it in his truck, but it blew off somewhere on the way home. Evidently that black goop can dry out and come loose after 50-odd years. At least on your bike, they caught it before it was lost forever. And if it's not the right badge, it's an easy sale. Nice bike!
 
i am interested in the seat and will swap you a brand new brooks i have a few new ones laying about nice seats or $$$$

Pop the head badge off and let's see what's on the back of the badge and let's see the front of the head tube.
