Sorry, it's not a Schwinn.

All Schwinns were built in Chicago, Illinois, from 1895 until the early 1970s when the company began importing bikes from Japan during the period when the company was headed by Frank V. Schwinn (Ignaz Schwinn's grandson), and later from Taiwan, China, and Hungary. Company founder Ignaz Schwinn was born in 1860, Hardheim, Baden, Germany, and died in 1948 in Chicago.

Ignaz Schwinn and his partner Adolph Arnold began building The World bicycles under the name Arnold, Schwinn & Co., in 1895 in Chicago.
