Schwinn input requested

I just picked this up at the Metamora Ohio swap because it looked cool. I see it is set up for a motor. Any other info is appreciated. S4?

Serial #?

Looks like a girls size chainring. Is that correct?

That bike is set up for a Whizzer motor, and I'm pretty sure the Whizzers had a smaller sprocket.

Sure looks like that's an S-4 with a mid 1950 serial number. Chain ring was most likely original but not the guard. What are your plans, rebuild it back to an S-4? Pretty cool find!

Thanks for the images. The bike has a great look to it. Original paint, perfectly patinaed. No plans at the moment but actually considering a motor.
Thanks Again

This chain guard came with it also. Appears more accurate based on the picture from GTs58. What kind of drop stand is that? Does it have ears? The stand shown is just propping up the bike for display,
Thanks
