That is a rare "Starburst" headbadge, which was used on Schwinn's high-end bikes for '61 through '63 only. It is plastic and was originally glued on with 3M weatherstrip adhesive. I would recommend re-attaching with silicone instead. Those badges alone regularly sell for upwards of $50 in good condition. You can see more information about them here.

The fenders on that Traveler were also made of stainless steel, so they will never rust. That model Traveler was discontinued after '66.
