This is the earliest known example of a Hiawatha which was sold by Montgomery Ward.
It is a badge motor probably made by Wilcox-McKim. It is not known, at least by me, if WM bought the rights to manufacture clones from Spinawway but there sure is a remarkable similarity between the two brands. After all how many outboards had a gas tank - flywheel combo that looked like a double layer cake?
The Spinaway company existed before and after Wilcox-McKim.
And be sure to check Arlan Carter's book that is specifically on rowboat motors when it comes out.
