Hello: I got this bicycle from a friend who has since passed away. I was told that the bicycle is made by Schwinn under another name and that it is probably fron the late 20s or earley 30s but have no real facts but would like to know. My friend had said bicycle was left just as he purchased. Thanks

What a great bike. I have been collecting bicycles for 25 years and never saw one this cool. What a interesting tail light lens. That is indeed a keeper. Enjoy.
It certainly has all the bells and whistles you could add to a bike of that period. Very interesting tail light.
Awesome bike, I've been looking for that tail lens and the only thing I saw was something about the Red Cross and I'm sure that doesn't have anything to do with that. That lens is very unusual.
Found that tail light lens, yep it's just what you think it is.

I did find that tail light and it is a KKK Ford model T tail light.
If you would like to sell the bike e-mail nitrojones@sbcglobal.net thank you.
That is a cool old bike,what kind of engine is on it,I think the name is on the flywheel but I can't read it.I never saw one with a front kick stand but I guess with the engine in the front that's where you need it.
