Neat bicycle! I suspect that this, like most other "English" bicycles such as Triumph, Rollfast, Sunbeam, etc., etc., was made by Raleigh. Did you get a close look at the Sturmey-Archer rear hub? In typical British fashion, there should be a date code on it that would likely pin down the vintage...something like 9 49 to indicate September 1949.
Oh, and did you buy it, I hope?
In addition to far too many Triumph cars, I have two Triumph bicyles, one Rollfast, and one Raleigh Sprite with the rare five-speed hub. Yes, I am nuts.

James,
I don't know alot about old bicycles, but a guy I used to know in college is very keen on British bicycles. If you're ever interested in learning more about them I can put you in touch with him.

That thing is in great shape! I've restored a few vintage bikes in my past.
THe other day I was in a fellow TC owner's garage. He had an amazing collection of vintage bicycles including an old aerocycle in mint condition. The six bikes I saw (the rest where elsewhere) were worth as much as my car. Lucky guy!
