I can't ID this frame. The dropouts are familiar but I can't remember where I've seen that style. The serial number begins with a "W" with 5 or 6 numbers in a small neatly spaced font on the BB.

The frame has a Schwinn headbadge.
Very strange, That is not a Schwinn frame as you stated the dropouts are for sure not and it looks like the connection to the drop outs is incorrect. The joints look crimped. A serial under the BB woud be a mid '50s and earlier Schwinn. I do not think they offered a lower end production model ever. I could be wrong I will look around and see. Can you get some close ups of serial , the drop outs and the brake bridge? Boy it does look like a Schwinn.
 
Schwinn had an exclusive patent on the cantilever frame design through '57. I'm feeling like this might be a Huffy, or possibly a CBC/Ross built. It's definitely NOT an AMF, Columbia/Westfield, Murray, or Snyder/Rollfast. -Adam

The filled and smoothed joints on the head tube are throwing me off. Maybe someone filled them in to make it look like a Schwinn
 
Whizzer frame built by Schwinn Chicago... Just a guess but if it is is valuable to whizzer community
