Identifying a Gents Humber 3 Speed Bike

Hi Team

After stripping the paint (Hand applied) off a vintage Humber 3 speed, I'm still trying to identify the year and model.

The serial Number is on the seatpost and is 25317H or 23517H and the original colour seems to be a light purplish lilac colour, checked the sturmey archer hub it's an AW version with no date on it so doesn't help with dating.

I shall post some images tonight, but the serial number does not seem to comply with the Raleigh catalogues on line at Old Roads, Kurt Huffmeiner, Sheldon Brown etc, I can't imagine it's a 31 as this seems to be the closest match so far, any advice or guidance gratefully received.

Thanks

Paul
 
Re:

The standard Humber colour was a dark blue, which often faded.
Detailed sharp pictures will help.
Also any markings on the SA hub, although it may not be original.
