Thank you for posting; wonderful find!

Marvelous in that condition and with the extra bits.

Question -

in the photo it almost appears as if the stem, bar and brake levers are a black chrome vs the appearance of the plating on crankset, headset, etc.

it is probably just the lighting...

When I was growing up me folks gave me a gents one of these in red flambouyant. It was likely made about 1957-58.

Please post again as you have had an opportunity to work through it.

I have never been able to receive a free bike in such wonderful condition! Once you clean it up, it will look near new!

Love that it has the oiler port! I've only had these on early Rudge bikes , and never realized that they put them on early Robin Hoods.
