J.C. Higgins serial number

[NBHAA]

Hi! I recently aquired a J.C. Higgins Hiawatha bike and I am trying to determine the year. I have read through the forum but still am unsure about its year. I have checked out the Parts Direct site but it did not provide any useful information for this.

The engraved information is:
M.O.T.S.-V
MOD-502 4546.0
215539

Thanks so much in advance for any information you can provide.

No such thing as a "J.C. Higgins Hiawatha"... which is like saying a "Ford Chevrolet."

What you have here is what appears to be a 1956 J.C. Higgins frame and fork, missing most of the original parts and sporting wheels, sprocket and chain guard from a Cleveland Welding Company-made Hiawatha.
