Thanks for posting!
At first glance thought it might be one of Sears Steyr-built models but then quickly saw the "gem of the ocean" parentage.
Wondering if blades were made that way or if they are the result of "relaxation" due to pilot going off curbs & down steps.
Cannot help but wonder if twin top tubes would not have been parallel to ground ex-works.
Shifter might be of greater value to collector than complete machine...

Edit -
thought process: was thinking machine appeared to be about 1970 so checked Sears catalogue for that year and found the Screamer with its twin top tubes exhibiting an
up bubble. then noticed that shifter and chain guard did not match subject machine so checked 1971 and bingo! we have a match. also mistaken about parentage. represents a perpetration of Murray of Ohio rather than "gem of the ocean."
