>>>Hello All - Here are some pics of a 1939 Paramount that we recently
restored:

Bob and all -
Can anyone identify the time frame that the Schwinn tubing decal pictured here (in Bob's Paramount album) was in use:

I just came into possession of a couple of these, as well as some other very similar-looking Schwinn decals, and have been wondering when and on what frames they were used. I'm not too familiar with Schwinn, and didn't realize these were from as early as '39 (as I'm assuming they are period correct). I'll try and post some pix of the other ones tonight, and will probably bring them to the Cirque to ask about as well.
Wayne Bingham Lovettsville VA Not sure exactly, but I have an original paint 1939 Schwinn New World track bike with the same decal, and a 1958 Paramount tourist, repainted at Waterford that also has it. I got that frame from a fellow who used to work at Waterford and was the one who had that decal set reproduced for them originally.
