Schwinn Badge

[Chips_Mahoy]

This badge is on my '58 26" Schwinn. In a different thread someone suggested it might be a Spitfire badge since the word SCHWINN doesn't extend all the way down. I've looked around but can't find a photo of what it should look like if new or nice. Anyone have one they could post up or tell me where to see one?

I can't think of which badge had a word below the Schwinn but this is the Spitfire one they may have been thinking of. I don't know if there was a different style at any point.

Also what is the hole spacing on this badge? I have a '54 Wasp and a '58 American with no badge and want to know what will fit.

Jpromo--what you posted is all I've ever seen.

Outskirt--I'll measure it later and will let you know.

 

[Chips_Mahoy]

outskirt--It measures 3 3/8" from center to center of the screws.

I keep thinking there was a spitfire or Wasp version of the schwinn badge similare to the BFG badge on the right, not 100% on that though

There is also this spitfire badge

Also Schwinn is making similar badges now for their signature series

The BFG badge is the only other one I've seen with the gap at the bottom.

Here we go..... It's got 20" West Coast Choppers tires/wheels on it.



Since it's been suggested by some that it is a Spitfire, and others have suggested it's a Typhoon, I don't know what it is. So I'm going to call it a SPITOON........

Bwahahahah! "Spitoon!" Bwahahahaha!

Finally found the badge I was talking about, it is stamped schwinn and is screened BFG below it. To late to hunt down the camera but I will snap a pic tomorrow... I have no idea what bike I pulled it off of but I'm thinking mine was a 50's early 60's girls bike from the color of the badge.

Now I'd like to see a pic of a bike it would be on and what it would look like in new or nice condition.
