Curious about this one, a couple have shown up lately on late 40's CWC's, this one on my 47 3 gill, National CO-OP Inc., different than some I've seen on Schwinns but being Chicago?, any show up on other brand bikes? or any pics with OG finish?.

They were part of the same company and were known to be socialists but split the sheets because the folks that ended up being the national Cooperative were too extreme for the other folks. I did read that the National Cooperative sold Schwinn bicycles after they split off from the other company.

I noticed that the CO-OP badge had the same shape as some Schwinn badges so probably a local Chicago supplier and looking at those bikes above ( post war with dropcenter wheels ) might have sold a few brands at once, both the CO-OP badged CWC's I've seen lately were 47-8's.
 
Is this CO-OP in the new BOOK on a Schwinn?;), I'd like to figure out what years and what other brands besides CWC & Schwinn if any?
