Rustinkerer said:Just looking thru my Elgin/JC Higgins?Hawthorne book, which features original catalog pages. Looks like you have a 1935 Elgin swallow, ladies companion to the Oriole! Earlier models had 28" rims, and the '36 has truss rods. I have a similar one in my collection, but it's a junior model with painted fender(s) and a smaller frame. Score of the year, man! ~Adam~Adam
deorman said:Artist's renderings in old catalogs aren't always correct in their details, and many makers used some common parts, or leftover stock. I'll assume you meant prewar and not postwar as stated in your posting. I think given the bike's proportions that is still a good bet. It also looks to me as if there might be room for 28" wheels in there, a bigger bike might have the second down tube crossover.
Soooo...You think it's a H.P. Snyder....How do you explain the chainguard..? Common part? My question is: "What is it"...?olschbp said:the two bikes dont even look the same, you should look more closely, the frames and forks are difenitly differant, I believe that rms 37 Phil has the more experience and knowlage, I dont believe that Schwinn ever had a triple blade fork,
