Amf Hercules Bicycle Serial Numbers
Hello, Just wondered if anyone might know anything about this old hercules bike. Its badge says hercules birmingham england it is a ladies single speed and is old but I dont know how old it was my mothers and i know it is at least 40 years old but i think it could be a lot older. It has the following stamped on the frame 12918yn and in very faint small letters JD cross and sons made in england is stamped on the hub? Sorry dont know much about bikes! I has had some work done over the years and a new saddle was fitted but I think it is mainly original although I think it has also had new wheels at some time in the past. Would really like to know a bit more about it if anyone can help.
Hercules Bikes Made In England
A few more photos. The only numbers i can see are 12918yn on the frame and the words jd cross and sons made in england deluxe bs is stamped on the hub. The head badge says hercules birmingham england. I know it has had some work done over the years but nothing in the last 20 years or so. I think it may have been repainted a long time ago as the black paint is coming off in places and you can see green paint underneath.
The saddle has been replaced and possibly the wheels too, but i think most of it is original apart from that. I would like to know how old it is and if it may be worth anything (In England) I dont know much about bikes and it is just rusting away in a shed so if its worth it would like it to go to someone who would be able to restore it and use it.
