I got two Schwinn frames from eBay. Both rusty, crusty and need lots-o work.
First is a "Green" 1952 Schwinn Hornet, I believe. But I would like some confirmation on it. I think that the green pant is a previous owner. The paint underneath is a red/ maroon/ burgundy. The hardware for the front tire truss is still attached. the underside of the gooseneck comes to a gentle point, not squared. Looks like SN C39[2]61. I hope to restore this to the original model.
The second frame is possibly from the late 40s to early 50s. Dark red, and came with sweetheart sprocket, attached "tube" kickstand, large (1940s-50s chain guard) and gooseneck with a pointed underside (same as other frame. The SN is located on the bottom bracket. Most numbers are rusted off. Legible digits are: []36[][]99. My guess is either36[59]99 or [6]36[59]99 or [G]36[59]99. I took apart the crank and heart sprocket. The crank was stamped AS & CO 28 and [99]00 (first two digits rusted).
This will be my "FrankinSchwinn" Rat Rod.
