A.S.& CO. by SCHWINN

no way this was factory made !

But no hate...the deal was sweet ... & now I have a red
Phantom.

Yes the as & co chainring was made by schwinn it is not a modified cotter pin crank.

When I said "it was not factory made"...I meant that the Red Phantom was never equipped with this
crank from the Chicago plant. I believe some individual must have installed this.
I realize the chainring is Schwinn, but it was made for another Schwinn bicycle & not the
Phantoms.
 
I've seen a few Phantoms with the 46 T clover ring, and no they were not the 59 Phantoms. It must be factory issued since it was shown in the comic ads back in the day.

If you are a member of the SBF then you can see the pictures of this 56 model wearing a clover ring. I tried to copy and load the pics here but no go.

Still looking for any kind of Schwinn literature showing or stating a skip tooth sweetheart was issued on a Phantom. :)

I looked at Schwinn Phantom brochures/catalogs from 1950 to 1959.
All have the 1/2'' . Could not find any with the skip tooth .

Then I went to my own Schwinn catalog 1948.
Obviously there were no Phantoms yet...their latest was the
B607 Deluxe Autocycle with the painted fenders for one thing.
And was equipped with 1/2''.

But I noticed that Schwinn offered the B6 model in 24" Juvenile.
This model was equipped with the 1" or skip tooth.

I went back to the Schwinn Black Phantom Brochures
& I found this:

It's a Schwinn Phantom 24 " Juvenile & what looks like
skip tooth. But the image is not too clear.
If someone has a Schwinn brochure of the Juvenile 24"
Black Phantom to prove that maybe there was a Phantom
with the skip tooth but in juvenile size.
clover ring ? You be the judge !
