**Rare**

*1936 was the “First Year” Schwinn added the 20inch frame to their already existing 16inch & 18inch Ballooner Style Bicycle. This comes after rectifying the weakness in frame design from 1934 1/2 & 1935 warranty claims. The new subtle bend in rear seat stays led the way forward in strength vs the short lived straight stays.
