I purchased the same size & color from Walt Skrzypek a few years ago. I researched various sites about it, and Bob Hufford has great info on it.

"World" was supposed to be a spin off of Schwinn with foreign made bikes. There was ads, dealer information, warranty cards & price lists that looked exactly like Schwinns. For some reason that idea went sour & foreign made bikes were afterward labeled Schwinn.
