Taiwan Schwinn Serial Numbers
Taiwan Schwinn Bicycle Serial Numbers

The Schwinn Bicycle Company was founded by German-born mechanical engineer Ignaz Schwinn (1860–1948) in Chicago in 1895. It became the dominant manufacturer of American bicycles through most of the 20th century. After declaring bankruptcy in 1992, Schwinn has since been a sub-brand of Pacific Cycle, owned by the multi-national conglomerate, Dorel Industries.
The Schwinn Web site had a Collectors' Page with info on dating, serial numbers, etc. But the link now goes to a message saying that the forum is closed. If you find yourself in Chicago, you might check out the Bicycle Museum of America and the Museum of Science and Industry.
