I'm not an expert on pre-war Schwinns, and maybe should claim embarrassing ignorance, so I'd like some advice as to what year my bike is. I've talked to Bob Usasi about it last year when I got the bike, and he said the serial number puts it in 1938. However, it has the low-mounted rear fender brace. Fenders appear to have been with the bike for many-many years, with original blue paint that matches the frame under the spray-bomb green. Badge is an ACE.
I added the tank and the brake lever, replacing the shorty lever that it had when I bought it.
With the d-cell tray in the tank, what year does that suggest for the tank? Does the tombstone on the fender, and the not very razor-ish razor stem indicate anything?
Thanks!
