Yes, what happened to them? Now I can understand the culling effect for scrap (WW1) is one source for a portion of them, but Schwinn was only one producer. How many Schwinn only survivors prior to 1917 are you aware of?

Oldnuts early Schwinn has built in Drop stand. So I'm thinking this is a feature previously unknown to early Schwinn's.
