What I have gathered doing research and asking experts is that the I J and K serials would have been left over prewar BB shells and or frames that had already been stamped prior. Note (A) serial started again in 51 but in regular larger print. Granted stuff got replaced or got carried over ie pencil stand. Springer fenders sported diamond and tombstone reinforcement tabs Pivot clip was prewar style half clip.(early) Springer pivot bolt rumored to be chrome on early 46? Grips will be oval with one tail coming off N without double back crossover(late prewar style)ĭrop center rims or sometimes Lobdell flat profile rims.ġ946 bikes have been found with 1941 stamped dogleg cranks My 46 rear fender stay mount is taller and more boxy then late 40s 50s style.Įarly 46 tanks have been seen with tapped brackets ie left over snap style prewar tanks.īig outtie delta horn button and tank hole (prewar size).Ĭhain guard front frame mount tab is thinner with bigger hole. Rear top stay fender bracket is sometimes tubular on early frames. Rack clamp is a one piece flat band aid shaped plate. (This feature also was found on later years and is not solely indicative of a 1946) Call a Schwinn representative and tell her the serial number. Wipe dirt and oil from the serial number, if necessary, so you can read it accurately.
It will be on the head tube, the A-frame or the seat tube. Straight bars ie "fat bars" have same dia bottom tubing. If they are 'JG,' Schwinn manufactured the bike in 2007. More on the 47 side.Ĭanti frames have more of a hump to the top tube.
