- Values come from verified auction sales, or from major auction-house estimates where a bike has not changed hands publicly.
- George Hendee founded the Hendee Manufacturing Company in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1897 and hired engineer Oscar Hedstrom in 1901.
- The first prototype appeared in 1901 and reached the streets in 1902; roughly 1,000 Indians had been built by 1905 and 32,000 by 1913.
