I have a 50's era tourist. The serial # is OB 5340, the stamping on the rear hub is "A type 1 *break* Hercules *break* -3 Speed- *break* Made in England.", the stamping on the front hub is "H(possible &) R pattern *break* made in England". She is made in Birmingham.
Photos are here http://www.flickr.com/photos/queenofsingle/4034104445/ here http://www.flickr.com/photos/queenofsingle/3930025445/ and here http://www.flickr.com/photos/queenofsingle/3908837508/in/set-72157612016321150/ Can post any other photos as requested.
I am leaving the paint as is, am in the process of polishing up the chrome and other shiny metal bits the only non-stock parts are the rear brake assemblage, saddle, rear tyre and grips. Everything runs like a sweet dream, and that was only after a light cleaning and re-lubing.
If any one can help me pin down a year on this ol' lass, I would be super appreciative.
