Finally riding a big boys bike
Anything on the chain guard? What's the brand of rear hub? That might narrow it down.

That hub is a Nankai (Japanese). The lugging on this frame, as well as the way the seat stays bolt through the seat post clamp looks a LOT like the Japanese made mystery bike I had (just sold it yesterday, so sorry I can't look it over more closely). I have no idea what it was, but it also had the Cottered cranks. It had two horizontally opposed head badge holes, and I know some Royce Unions used a badge that attached horizontally. Sorry I can't be more specific, but I think if you focus on Japanese manufacturers, you might have some luck. At least you know what yours was called

No prob. I got every penny I asked, from an enthusiastic and nice buyer who drove 2 1/2 hrs round trip for it .
I only asked $40.00 due to the cosmetics. I recouped my investment, and had fun with it. Not sure if I could have gotten more, but I can’t complain.

If that's anything close to the value of this I'll certainly fix it and let me kid thrash it. Lol. I still want to know more about it if anyone knows anything. My research is leading me know where so far.
