year ID help please - prewar womens Schwinn

[zoso]

Starting building this up for my wife and trying to narrow down the year it was made.

Got it as a bare frame, no badge, no crank, no fork etc etc. Any help on what year it actually is? I looked at the Schwinn serial number page and prewar tips page, but that doesn't really narrow it down too much.

Thanks

Expensive?

What makes this an expensive build? I thought most womens bikes were cheap to do.

the parts are expensive because your looking for prewar schwinn stuff which is expensive but if you buy a girls bike you can get parts that way but no one wants to invest in it because they can't get the return unless they get it cheap and part it out. So its mainly the parts that make it expensive. Although if you already have most of the parts then it shouldn't be that costly just labor and paint.
