Old (late 40s?) Schwinn Ladies Bike
I came across this old Schwinn and am having a little trouble IDing it. Anybody have any idea what it is?
Based on the serial no. I think its from 1949 but I can't really find anything that looks the same anywhere online. Its got a little tank on it and a Bendix 2 speed rear hub or coaster brake...
any help and value info greatly appreciated!!!

That is not a 1949 headbadge, more like 1970s. And notice original rivets are gone? Could have come from another bike.
Is the bike a repaint?
Tank bikes were pretty popular in the 1960s. Two speed hubs have good value.
Crank does not look Schwinn to me, but I am not familiar with all of them.

i thought the same thing about the headbadge and did notice the rivets. I think its been repainted for sure.
must be an older frame pieced together.
Thanks for the quick reply!
