HUMBER - LADIES, SOLID GREEN / WHITE, LATE 1940S, NOT SURE. DOUBLE BLADED FORKS, EXCELLENT CONDITION. ALL DECALS INTACT HOWEVER I AM NOT CONFIDENT HE CHAINRING IS CORRECT. IT APPEARS TO BE A LATER HUMBER/ RALEIGH STYLE CHAINRING BUT IT SHOULD HAVE THE ~LITTLE MEN~ CHAINRING FOR THIS VINTAGE IN MY OPINION. ALL CHROME SOUND, ALMOST LIKE A NEW BIKE. FOUND IN SOUTH ISLAND OF NEW ZEALAND. MINERVA DECAL ON SEAT POST. "HUMBER THE ARISTOCRAT OF ALL BICYCLES," APPEARS ON THE CHAINGUARD AND SEAT POST. TOOLBAG, LIGHTING MAY BE LATER PERHAPS, HAS ITS BELL, A CARRIER. VINTAGE ROD FRONT BRAKE AND COASTER REAR, SINGLE SPEED. IS IT A GENIUNE HUMBER?
