1960’s hiawatha

I'd say made by AMF Roadmaster for Gambles, who sold it under the Hiawatha badge. It looks repainted, but from the details I'm guessing mid to late '50's. More pictures would help. Is the serial number on the left drop-out or the bottom bracket?

On second look, it's a cantilever frame, which dates it to 1958 or later. Serial number should be on the left drop-out.

I’m not sure what a drop out is?

It's a little blurry, but it looks like the first letter is "H". According to a list of Roadmaster numbers posted here: https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/1938-y-frame-road-master-supreme-info.35915/page-7 - that would make this a 1958. According to @Boris , Phil Marshall put this together. He may still be working on the details, but from the bikes I've seen, I think he's got it pretty well figured out.

Interesting bike! I'm guessing that one goes back before WWII, and maybe WWI. I wonder what the knob on the side of the head stock was for?
