Hey guys, here are the Hiawatha's I have that I can both read the numbers and have an idea what year.lol I am sure this one is a 1969, because I know the guy I got it from and his dad bought it in '69 (serial - WG3873-1-459654) This one I was told was a 1968, but I don't know for sure (Serial - WG3888-1-838935). Here is the whole serial number: WG 3705 1 739523. Click to expand. Ok, I had to look back in my notes, and 'WG' is the typical prefix for Gamble's bikes built by Murray. I think the 3 indicates 1963, though thier numbers haven't been fully decoded, due to old Gamble's catalogs being pretty scarce! First production bike was serial number 100. A low number bike would be early 1974. By the 500-600 range somewhere begin the 1975's. 1974-1975 Front gusset had no hole 1976-1977 Front gusset had two holes. 1978-1979 MX-II - 4130 frame/fork.
