Stem?

[morton]

Is this stem anything special?. It came on a Schwinn Speedster that has a number of non Schwinn parts but it doesn't look Schwinn to me .

Any markings? Could be Shelby.

Thanks for the replies.

No markings but I do believe it does look like the Monarch. Worth listing it for sale or is it so common not worth the effort.

I've got a late '60's touring Varsity with a very similar looking stem, and it appears original to the bike. Maybe there was a problem and they had to re-use some of the older tooling? Your guess is as good as mine. I like the way it looks, so I'm keeping it.
