There's no serial number information for Hercules, but going by the decals, yours could easily be before WWII. The stem and chain guard have been swapped out somewhere along the way, but the rest looks right, at least as far as I can tell. Assuming your wheels are original, the rear hub is probably your best bet for finding the year, as @bikerbluz said. If you drop it off at Goodwill, let me know which one!

If you have a young lady in your life, I would do a lite restoration to the bike and give it to her. All it needs is a good cleaning, polishing, new tires & tubes, new brake pads, the correct chain guard and a new reproduction head badge! All the cables appear to be OK. Keep the pedals, brake caliper/hand brakes and seat as they are all original and have the most value on the bike! Asside from the rotten tires and lite rust, it appears that someone took great care of the bike! That bike would look spectacular if you follow my advice!
