Help narrowing down year on Schwinn Hornet

[Brizo23]

I have a Schwinn Hornet with the seriel number C95511. According to the date chart it could have been built 07/01/52-07/02/52 or 11/13/53-11/25/53. I checked the crank and didn't see any date stamps. Just the "A.S. & CO." and what looks to be a "18". Is there anyway of narrowing this down to the exact year?

Thanks, Brian

The 52 and 53 Hornet look like the same bike in the catalogs. At least you have it narrowed down to early 50's.
