It has a schwinn sprocket and stem, thinking it is a schwinn

[Metal Militia]

got any pics of the dropouts, bottom bracket, or seat stays?

Looks like a '37. Tough to tell without better pics.

A few more shots....

The welds look pretty sloppy for a Schwinn.

With the Gothic peaked fenders, and double curved bars, it looks as though it may be like a '37 or '38 Cleveland Welding Frame. It looks very much like my '36 roadmaster, but in '37 they went to the peaked fenders, and in '38 I think they ditched the little wing on the fork, and went to the flat fork like yours. That said, I've never seen them without curved truss rods. If it is a Schwinn frame, it might be a BA67 from the late 30s w/ a different fork/fender setup.

If you decide to get rid of the rear carrier, let me know.

I don't believe that is a Schwinn frame. Dropouts and rear fender bridge are dead giveaways. Gary

I wonder if the older Schwinns had the date stamped on the inside of the cranks? But those cranks look a lot shinier than the sprocket, so it might not help.

no matter what it is... i want the grips
