Classic and Vintage Bicycles: What's it Worth? Appraisals and Inquiries - Hi New to Forum, Help Identifying bike , Schwinn ?? Thanks !

Hi , I am new to the forum and I am trying to identify what type, style, year or value of this bike ? .. I have looked for hours and not found one like it. Found it on craigslist CHEAP. Any help greatly appreciated.

Thank You !

Are you sure it is a Schwinn? Frame or fork appears bent. Post pictures of the head badge.

That's a horrible picture. It's clearly not a Schwinn as a Schwinn would have a welded (not bolt-on) kickstand.

A larger photo of the driveside and the head badge would be a big help.

Looks like an old Western Auto kids bike. the top "tube" is convertible to a girls bike, right? My kid brother had one in re back about '72 or so.

hmm western auto, could be ? ... However I believe it is much older than 70's .. I was thinking 4o's or 50's... there is NO front emblem, also nothing under the crank shaft or anywhere else I can identify.

Thanks

'60s for sure. I had one of those, but in red

This was the closest thing I could find . .. Hmm ....

If it's pre-ww2 , then in is older than 60's or 70's .. I got a girls bike with it that has "49" at the end of a goup of numbers. Wondering if this is closer to the date range ..

Thanks
