That number, starting with a C, shows as a 52, 53, or 57 on the serial charts.

Either they goofed and reused numbers or the official numbers are wrong. I think they used the numbers over again, but still, that's a 50's Schwinn with possibly good paint under the blue.
 
I like it, good find.
 
Black and red were typical Wasp colors. I believe 52 was the last year for serials on the BB. And they did repeat numbers a few times in the 50s. If it had the original crank, some were tear stamped. You can browse through Schwinn brochures on angelfire/tr findley, and see what models were available in black in 53 and 57. -Adam
