It's a post-war New World, 1946-52 era. Unfortunately, it is in tough shape. The fork is bent. Everything has been re-painted. Bars have been swapped out. Saddle is not original. Pedals also swapped. Grips have been swapped. Fenders and chain guard are missing.

On the plus side, the multispeed coaster hub set up and associated hardware are quite valuable.

Schwinn S6 rims would be stock (597mm tires).

Schwinn used different fenders from Raleigh. The Schwinn fenders were painted and semi-round in profile. The Raleigh types generally have a rain gutter profile.

I'd regard the bike as a parts bike, particularly with that hub and hardware, and look instead for a better example to build up.
