Your Hiawatha was built by the Cleveland Welding Co, makers of the Road Master. Early 50s. The bottom bracket (BB) where the crank mounts will gave the serial #. To the right of that should be a date code, 48-9ish being 'Cw', 50-1 being 'ACw', and 52-4 having a two digit year code, such as '52 Cw'. It's a deluxe model, not sutr of the name. Western Auto had their own version, called the Super, and Ward's had a Hawthorne version, same except for the colors and name stamped on the chain guard. -Adam
