Hi Mark, I am 99% sure that that is a Flying Scot. So not English or American. The frame number is 233H not a 5. The scalloped top eye and the dropouts are typical. I have a road/path from 1955 which is very similar. There may also ne a number/letter behind the fork crown. You may be able to accesss Bob Reids' Flying Scot website on the Wayback Machine. I have heard that Bob is going to relaunch it. The H is a year code.
    I am not sure why there are no mudguard eyes on the rear dropouts. Is there veidence for them bing removed?
