From what I can find, they sold several different bike models, Elite and models designated by a letter. Definitely prewar.
This one is of particular interest to me, because they're one of six US companies I've been able to identify who (prewar) imported reels from JW Young & Sons of Redditch, a particular collecting bent for me.

Curious if any UK collectors have seen bike head badges from A&NCSL.(Army Navy Cooperative) - they definitely shipped bikes all over the world.
