An Apple Krate just like this one is what I got for Christmas in 69. I just wish I had kept it.

Orange Krate for me, for my August birthday.

I wish I'd kept it, too - it was flawless when I sold it in High School.

That is a '69 Orange Krate. You can tell by the handle bars, rear brake, shifter and rear tire. They were different other years. They were the absolute koolist bikes on planet earth in the late 60s and into the mid 70s before the bmx craze took over. They are heavy but, quite fast, ride nice and, to this day, there is not a better looking bike.!
I wish I had one as a kid but, I have 3 of them now plus a 5 speed delux in blue because Schwinn never made a blue Krate for some reason.

As best I know there were the years and models Schwinn offered Krates. Each year had their own diffences as well. Starting in 1969, a single speed/coaster brake Krate was offered, they are quite rare. In my collection, I have a '72 Pea coaster Krate.

1968- Apple, Lemon, Orange
1969- Apple, Lemon, Orange, Pea
1970- Apple, Lemon, Orange, Pea, Cotton
1971- Apple, Lemon, Orange, Pea, Cotton, Grey
1972- Apple, Lemon, Orange, Pea
