At first glance it strikes me as being an old Raleigh, but I think it's something like a Hercules or Huffy. I didn't know that either one of them had rod brakes, but they could have. The chain ring looks like the ones on my Hercules and Huffy. The headlight bracket may have a letter stamped into it such as...'R' or 'H' or..... The rear hub, if it's Sturmey Archer, will have a date on it. The rear drop-outs don't look British, though. What do the rims say? Neat little bike!
