I was interested in the answer too, here is a bike on Craig's advertised as 37-39, but has indian head.

I've seen the indian head on Shelby built Hiawatha bikes too, when were those in use on Shelby?

This bike, also on CL, states 50's era.

Makes more sense in relation to the green one advertised as 50s.

Any info on Shelby using this same badge?
