Hilary, where's the serial number on that Merlin? Left rear dropout,
perhaps? And if so, what is that number?
I'm still hoping against hope to ID the "Mystery British" bike seen here:

I do realize the similarities between so many British marques of the
day, and the more specific differences between the bike you're
offering and the one in hand. I keep thinking, though, that I'll be
able to spot another bike of the era with the unusually placed stamp
down on the dropout....
