Never seen one on a D-69 model for sure, these were typically found on pre-postwar Schwinn lightweights. One other thing, would love to see the serial number also.

G183278 1950

Craigslist find: The glow in the dark Schwinn hornet? What is this headbadge?

So, I picked this one up the other day because I just couldn't say no.

The frame, forks, truss rods, tank, front wheel and fenders, all appear to be consistent with a 1953 Schwinn, if we are to go with the serial number being correct. I believe that it is a hornet, based on the options, but there is much I do not know.

The thing that I would love insights into is the headbadge. It isn't a Schwinn badge - it's flat - and I haven't been able to get it off. It's shorter than a Schwinn badge, too. I don't see remnants of other screws. Ideas?

That year of bike could have the aluminum version of the train, plain & automobile badge. Or maybe the Aluminum Spitfire badge? How tall is the badge? The Spitfire badge is 3" tall and the plain, train & auto badge is about 2 5/8" tall.

Had a great time last weekend trying to pack 20 pounds of family & friend fun into a 5 pound can. Got about 17 pounds in there and came home with some fun stuff!
My Big Little Brother gave me the Coors Classic 1980 mirror, '77 Orange Crush mug & Messenger seat. My Middle Little Brother gave me the A- Salt gun for killing flies. (My Little Little Brother didn't give me anything but we're working on something) My best friend growing up gave me the Specialized FSR frame & Motomags and I gave him a nice Fender Guitars stool I found at a garage sale a while ago.

I've got a "Bug-a-salt"! LOVE it!! I've got the "yellow Jacket " version...doesn't do much for the European yellow jackets..if you knock em down and damage their wings..you've got a chance!

I learned this the other day with some wasps. Gotta get pretty close to wing ‘em then a good stomp to finish the job. Don’t have a lot of flies. May need to look into the Yellow Jacket version. A can of WD40 or cheap hairspray and a lighter works pretty good in a pinch.
