It's a Schwinn by the looks of it. Looks quite small, so possibly a kids bike from the 60's era? Schwinn Buddy perhaps?
Some info here: https://bikehistory.org/

Very cool, I'd love to have that on the bench. crying out for a deep metal flake Burgundy paint job. The wheels are fab!

The rear wheel appears to have radial spoking on both sides. The conventional belief is that this shouldn't be done because the spoke tension would go up too much under torque, resulting in a higher risk of spoke or flange breakage.

Yes, but when Sheldon is talking about 36 spoke wheels he means 36 spokes total not 36 per side:wacko:, I think that 72 spokes a wheel should deal with the tension issue ^_^

I would imagine building one of those wheels would be an exercise in patience and concentration. It's hard enough with 36 spokes. Every time you turn the spoke key you'd hit another spoke. Anyway, we had a Schwinn at the bike charity where I work and the frame design had a few similarities to this one.
