Thanks to both Roger and Sir Mike for your replies. Roger I can understand your skepticism. Many, many bikes are altered thru out their lives. This bike drew my attention from what appears to be its originality. The shifters are different from anything I have had, extra long, maybe because of the upright riding position? I was attracted to those and the color of the bike, kind of a root beer color. Bike is in pretty good shape except the saddle which is trashed. Sir Mike thank you for your information. I have been working on a Raleigh Lenton Grand Prix, 1960, I believe. It has the same crankset as this Hercules. Don’t think this bike is too collectible, but with a few upgrades, could be a fun rider. Thanks gentlemen.
 
Love the color of that Hercules. Here's a close cousin:

An update: bought new tires for the Hercules. I was surprised when I mentioned it at my LBS (Trek dealer) and they had a pair, in stock!! I didn't know Bontrager made tires to fit English!!
