Background

Cleveland Welding Company Serial Numbers

Hiawatha brand bicycles were sold by Gambles Hardware stores from the 1930s until the 1970′s. Most Hiawatha bicycles were manufactured by the Cleveland Welding Company or the Shelby Cycle Company, however some were made by Murray Ohio and Huffman Manufacturing. The most sought after Hiawatha bicycle is the late 1930′s Arrow model, built by Shelby. It featured extreme styling and was similar to the Shelby Airflow model.

The first Hiawatha Bicycle was introduced during the 1930s and was called the Arrow. The bike was manufactured by Huffman Manufacturing Company in Ohio. The company originally manufactured things that would be used in a service station and was credited with inventing the first sturdy spout that could be used to fill 50 gallon drum oil tanks. The company switched production over to bicycles as the Depression started, banking that the bicycles would become a popular mode of transportation during the Depression. They were right.

The Depression brought much business to Huffman Manufacturing, so much so that they were unable to keep up with the demand. Eventually however, the company managed to streamline its operation and made it possible to not only keep up with production, but increase production and reach over the $1 million mark in sales.
