More photos after a brief cleanup. Only had to change one tube and it was the original at that! Looks to be a 49 with blackout sturmey archer hardware and idler clamp. Chrome cable guide though. Cleaned up well and it should look much better once I get a bit more time. I think this is as original as one can get.

That's really nice! Congratulations!
 
Just wanted to add this oddball to the mix. Bike was parted out due to original owners daughter trying to clean some of the bike with what could have been a brillo pad...Hideous scratches on what is normally resilient chrome. 🙄 Also, the original owner had the brakes, cables, levers, shifter, tires, and grips updated in the early 70s at a Schwinn shop.
Note that it had some blackout parts, axle nuts and cable pulley.
Drop outs, headtube(both joints), and BB to seat tube were the only electro forged welds on the bike...unless you count the 3 round spot welds for the lower fender tab. Every other joint was brazed.

@REDAIR13 initial cleanup came out great! Looks like a nice ride. Thanks for posting more pics of it and the details like the silver faced shift trigger and cycle counter. Cool stuff.

@WillWork4Parts thank you for adding this latest post war ladies to the list before it completely dissolved. Sometimes we only get pieces to study.

I added the C serial black ladies bike from @cyclingday and @49autocycledeluxe to the list too.
