Yard Sale Find - 1930's Schwinn - please help identify

[maranoman]

I have mainly dabbled in 1950's - 1960's Schwinn middleweights until now, but the neighbor across the street had a yard sale and this caught my eye, so I paid next to nothing for it. Based on one night's research, I'm pretty sure it's an early- or mid-1930's era, but I don't know much about pre-war bikes since I rarely see them here in Des Moines. Based on the pictures, can anyone help me narrow down the approximate model and year? Also, based on its condition, is it destined for yard art, rat-rodding or semi-restoration? Most of the Typhoons and Corvettes I've worked on were nowhere near this rusty. What would you suggest I do with this bike?

Badge is worth something. .. saddle core too

I think this one should come to Monrovia

Is this the bike the American Pickers exhumed from that ladies backyard on this season's episode?

I like the crusty ones but that beyond my ability. I agree, pull the seat and badge and try to get more for them than the disposal fees for the remainder.

It's a B10. All of that is usable. Sandblast frame and fork, Straighten rack, Crack and stem can be blasted and polished before plating. Junk the bars.

It's a B 1 1/2 and maybe it was an E

another look

Took another look, maybe it's not even a B. Kinda looks like it had 28" wood clad rims.
Still very cool
