Sturmey Archer rear hubs typically dated.

Without the hub date, I’m guessing 1960s. In Canada it’s worth a couple hundred. In the US...?

Guessing 1970. $50-$100 as it sits . May take a while to find buyer but maybe not as what else is there to do.

Can’t be that new, the Rudge badge was discontinued by Raleigh in the 60s.

More pics would help. Assuming it’s a men’s bike due to gear changer pulley at top of seat tube. I would say early 70’s due to reflector pedals, braze on for chainguard Mount and plastic covering for SA shifter. Has front dynamo for headlight, which is worth some money. Brooks saddle has been left in weather and brightwork has more rust than you would think in spite of good shape of paint. If it has “Open Hand”” chainring that’s a plus. Evan at that and assuming it’s a men’s bike in what seems to be in OK shape I’d put a value at $125-175

Keen eye, good observations, I agree.

Worth picking out of someone else's trash any day!

Absolutely! I’ve dragged home much worse looking bikes and brought the back to life!

Your dumpster find looks similar to my dumpster find! - but yours appears in better condition with more extra's. Thanks for sharing.
