52? Hercules Safety Model

-
Yeah, I decided it's likely a '53. The rear hub is Type 2 indicating 52, but front dyno has 2 53 stamp indicating "53 so probably '53.

Despite the crusty outside the rear hub shifts great. I replaced the threaded driver with the 3 bump style and put a 20t cog on it. Works smoothly and makes for an easier ride. My gf even enjoyed a spin on it remarking about the upright riding position.
