Murray-built Hiawatha Serial # help?

[blacksheep]

I had this posted in my "Fresh Finds" thread, but no help yet.

Is there any way to narrow this down to a particular year with the serial number, or is it just a guessing game?

Looks like it is WG3605 1 173432

Over on the Cabe, member 30thbird has decode these somewhat. I have it printed out somewhere, but the Mrs. cleaned up so I can't find anything! I'm not sure if you can pin it down to a specific year. I know on the bikes built for Sears by Murray, there's a middle # that's a catalog #. You can look in the Elgin/JC Higgins/Hawthorne book and find something close, if not the actual #. ~Adam
