hawthorne twin top tube

[dragnusa]

I got this with the prewar bike the other day. Its 24 inch badged as a hawthorne cant find numbers on it of course its cold out so I havent spent much time looking. It was a pretty metallic orange. Does anyone have any info on this thing

If you look closer, the badge says Hiawatha, as well as Gamble's stores. Hawthornes were sold by Monty Ward's. Anyway, I thought this was a late 60s AMF frame, despite the murray chain ring and guard. But, a metal head badge suggests mid 60s or earlier.

Thanks for the info. Going to try and remove the blue off it and see how the orange looks.
