1938 First Year Schwinn Cantilever Bicycle

1938 26" SCHWINN LINCOLN CANTILEVER FRAME (serial number Z54063) INCLUDING KNEE ACTION SPRING FORK WITH CYCELOCK  AND CRANKSET EMBOSSED WITH THE NUMBER 37.              Our research into books and the internet shows this is the first year of manufacture for the Cantilever frame and the knee action spring fork with Cycelock. As to why the crank is marked 37 and the raised area is not stamped we are not sure.                                                                                                                               PHOTOS OF FRAME SHOW SCRATCHES *** DIRT *** GREASE *** PAINT LOSS *** PREVIOUS OWNER PAINTED OVER PITTED AREA AT BACK OF FRAME *** HEAD BADGE IS MISSING MISSING MISSING                                                                                                                                                                                                   PHOTOS OF FORK SHOW *** PREVIOUS OWNER HAS PAINTED OVER CHROME WITH SILVER PAINT *** ONE OF THE 'AS' BOLTS IS REPLACED WITH NON-ORIGINAL BOLT *** RUBBER WASHER IS DRY ROTTED *** THERE ARE SOME DENTS IN THE FORK TUBES NEXT TO THE LOWER BEARING CUP *** ALSO A SMALL DENT ON INSIDE OF ONE FORK TUBE ABOUT 3/4 OF THE WAY TO BOTTOM, SMALL ENOUGH THAT IT WON'T SHOW IN PHOTO                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             PHOTOS OF CRANKSET SHOW *** PREVIOUS OWNER HAS PAINTED OVER WITH SILVER PAINT *** DIRT *** GREASE *** ONE BEARING CAGE IS MARKED 'GERMANY', THE OTHER IS MARKED 'U.S.A.                                                                                               If you need more information or photos contact us before buying...DUE TO RATE INCREASES THE POST OFFICE HAS SET SHIPPING COST FROM OHIO TO CALIFORNIA AT $95, may be less to other locations, we refund overcharges
