Hi. I'm a picker in WI and had a friend come to me with this bike. I think I'm in the right place-ish for this post, but I'm not a bike guy. My research led me down this road. Here's one for comparison I think...right?

It looks like you have a Sturmey-Archer rear hub, is there a date stamped?
 
He finally started his own thread.
 
It would be interesting to know the year on that one. I would have thought the quadrant shifter would have been obsolete by the time this was built! Maybe someone swapped out a thumb shifter for the quadrant? Is that handle bar original?
My friend told me that his father says that he bought it brand new in 1952, and has owned it ever since. I can try to find out about the shifter and any other potential mods. I did notice the other style shifter and wondered what was correct.
