Hi Brian
That might be a Goold Brantford. The fork crown and blades look Brantford.
I like the construction of these old frames.
but are you certain this is the original fork to the bike? looks replaced like the front rim and hub ..... past head-on collision?
the fork looks built too "heavily" for the rest of the bike's delicate construction! IMO
also the crown of the fork would hit the frame pretty quickly when turning due to the massive crown
not the type of fork construction that I would expect to match the age of this frame
Also as far as the Brantford origin, I am not certain.
i own a few Brantfords (as Dave does), and the Brantford fork is somewhat similar but the construction is finer on a true Brantford
the side profile of a Brantford fork is wide but the front profile on a Brantford fork is pretty thin
also the spacing between the two crowns of a Brantford fork is wider
the Brantford forks that I have seen also have two oval pieces on the top of the fork crown
the top crown of your fork is flat!
the plater sure laid it thick on there to hide all the pitting ..... hopefully you will be able to reassemble all the parts, especially the cranks on the sprocket center shaft.
you lost all the delicate details of the junction where the stem is welded on the handlebars! that was my favorite detail on this bike.
the rear part of the seat was probably also nickel judging from the original pictures you posted.
