What is the Rarest Phantom?

Getting back to the original topic, relative rarity of Phantoms. The '54 Reds and Greens are interesting. First year of the Opalescent on Phantoms, last year for the old-style locking sprig fork, so a neat intersect of paint and parts.

Not nearly as rare as the Blue, but still neat.

Cheers, Geoff

I have this Green Phantom. Needs fenders. The fenders are straight. but the chrome is ruff.

This is the same as my bike, mine is repainted red, but has that brake arm, 105 spoked front wheel with a drum brake, on an S2 rim, i need the 105 spoked rear wheel.

it's blue not a Phantom ... not an expert, but doesn't gap tooth indicate 40's, predating a Phantom?
key lock springer front end and other details very similar to a Phantom.
again not an expert, but sure looks in original un-molested condition.

note cut-out on left side of fender and rear brake lever arm transferring braking forces near bottom bracket.
this bike appears to have features allowing mounting an engine.

Serial # D 33422 (1948?) please help identify ...

Rarest Phantom

I guess, it would all depend on what era you look at. About 1869-1871 there was also a bike produced that was called a Phantom.This would be during the transitional period, from velocoped to high wheel or "Penny Farthing". This would mean that it might be rarer, when compared to the more widely known Schwinn Phantoms. I would have to say that of the Schwinn Phantoms, my choice wuold be red as well, though.
