Thank you so much for this info. Now I gotta go through my collection and see which bikes have the wrong badges lol

@jaysmith5736 lol. No problem. You're welcome. I know I'm guilty of changing out a couple of badges for better condition ones.

Great video on this subject. Keep them coming! I dont believe they stamped all the badges. I have a 1979 schwinn cruiser I bought new from our local schwinn dealer and it has no numbers stamped into it. I still own the bike and it looks like new. I have to go by the serial number to see when it was made.

@Steve-bf2go nice, good info. I guess a bike or 2 got passed the stamper. Or maybe called in sick. 😅 ya, a lot of things schwinn did was never set in stone. They usually used what they had to make a bike complete and get it out. even if it meant last years old parts. I've seen it on a couple bikes.
