Hiawatha, what year?

[skiptooth7]

I shot it with emron paint. the sprocket and crank are off a 47" Columbia. It has original Diamond brand skiptooth chain, original stem and badge. i grided down some steel skull cufflinks and epoxyed them to the fork

Has original rims, i believe they are called drop center? back hub is a Bendix with oil filler hole and cap. fron hub is marked Bendix modell K i beleive "sulley", pretty big hub.

The bars and saddle are repops.

What i wanted to know was what year about is the frame? What is that heavy duty front hub for or about? and any one guess a price if i wanted to sell it ??? Thanks RRB!!!

Nice bike. Looks to be 46/47, but you would have to post the serial number under the bottom bracket to be sure.
