Need help ID'ing this bike

[dyonke]

I cannot find any information on this bike. Being told it is a 1952 or 1953 Hiawatha. Does anyone recognize this model? I have NO experience in vintage bikes. I appreciate any help I can get.

Thank you in advance for your help

Welcome to the Cabe. I’m not sure what it is from the pic.It looks complete and original paint, both pluses from a collector stand point. If it’s a good price go for it. Good luck.

Thank you for the help. The bike is hanging in my fathers workshop. He has owned it since childhood. Recently, a party expressed interest in purchasing it for display purposes. Any idea what a fair "as is" price may be?
