Trying to figure out the date on this Schwinn

[elginkid]

I had a friend pick this Harley for me, but I’m a bit puzzled as to the date. The front wheel has a drop center rim, the rear a flat, (I think non knurled) rim, and a tapered kickstand. The rack is a 9 hole. I thought maybe it was a ‘46 model.

Serial number?

For the rims, the seat frame and the stem, I like it for 1946.

Sorry, I thought that was in the group of photos that I attached. G91648

It was the flat rear rim that threw me, but either wheel could’ve been replaced over the bike’s none too kind life.

Only 5 numbers and a tapered stand? Doubtful it's a 1950. I see the stamping dies are not all the same, similar type of stamping that showed up around 1947.

I saw the front rim and didn't even look at the back. I still think you are right...1946....but it could be 1947.
