Need info on Hiawatha

[Megan03]

I recently got a Hiawatha with G845 , 1 on the bottom of the crank and I was told that it is a 1946 woman's bike but I can't seem to find anything anywhere about it on the web. Can anyone help me find info about this please!

Hiawathas were sold by Gambles' Dept. Store, and most were made by Shelby or Cleveland Welding Co./AMF. Pics would tell us which it is, and an approximate year.
