Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
( Sept 2020 ) Maybe I should have started a new thread but looking for another one of these Murry built ( not Shelby ) Hiawatha badge! I tried to explain and is shown in this old thread.Thanks ) This is kinda hard to explain but the are a couple of versions of this badge, the one I need has a bigger bump around the top rivet, the A in Gambles is a A frame style and not the round top, the the G is also different and S is not slanted, H ( in Hiawatha ) is a little different and H does not touch the border on the left, last is a little mustache on the front of the train!, some of the pictures aren't very good but the top one and badge on right of 2nd pic is what I'm looking for.

Sorry, I have a few of those, I'm looking for the one that the H does not touch the border and the top left leg is curved and the lettering GAMBLE'S is different, bump on top taller also, I don't have a good pic just a old one of my bike before I owned it and one from here, I don't know if this is the difference but mine & the pic from here are Murry built and the one I'm using now and yours are off Shelby built Hiawatha's. The first picture is the one I need, I don't know how many different versions there were, the shadow of my old paint around the badge is a little different using the Shelby version. Thanks anyway.

Wow, just found a few years old post I commented in for a girls Murry built Hiawatha that got parted out, sent him a message but don't know if he's still on here or by chance he has the badge but so far the 3 Murry built Hiawatha had a different badge than the Shelby version, you can really see the bigger bump on top and barely see the different H. I've seen Orange/Green in both versions but don't know what color mine was from my old pic.

looks curved and not touching 2 me,but o would rather not sell to somone who really doesnt know what they want,been there have no interest in goin there again,startin to sound like a corvette site!!
 
Sorry, as I said yours is the Shelby version that I already have, I know its kinda hard to understand but your H touches the border and an even easier thing is the size of the bump on top, I just bought this Murry version and it will do unless a nicer one comes up.

Called him first, he is the go to guy for Schwinn and others but so far nobody knew there was a difference between Murry & Shelby built Hiawatha badges which I found out after noticing a shadow around using the wrong badge then investgating, if you didn't see the badges side by side it's hard to tell. I didn't realise I commented on a bike thread here 4 yrs ago that had the badge I need, It will do but still looking for a nicer one. a previous owner of my bike destroyed the badge removing the rivets, too many badges have been destroyed that way!
