Carlton unknown

[Gwyndavid]

Hope some knowledgeable people can help provide information on my Carlton frame. I bought an old Carlton for £2 in 1975, used it until 1991 when I stripped it and had the frame painted. Now my grandson wants to rebuild it, I know it's been a while and he's asked the model and date made. Wonder if anyone can cast light on this? Thanks
DROP OUT # C. 13314
FRONT FORKS # 162 1088
BOTTOM BRACKET # V GR23 ?
74 CAR 72

Hope these make sense.

Great, thanks Retro. Do you know if it's possible to find the model.

The dating is correct for this one, if you check out the Carlton Facebook group we have pretty much all the catalogues and printed work for the maker, they can be downloaded as PDFs. Check the catalogue form about 1951 they may be of help. More pics of the frameset would help, do you have the forks?

Would that be the Carlton of Worksop FB? I've a membership request pending.
Some further photos attached that could be of assistance in ID. Appreciate any help from you all, grandson is full of enthusiasm.

Could be a Flyer. That has similar lugs I think.

The only other info I can give is that it has a chatter Lee crank, don't know if this was a standard on a carlton
