Sturmey Archer hub age

Toot

Retro Newbie
I have recently obtained a pre war 28'' wheel bike which am planning on restoring. As yet I don't know the make or year. The Sturmey Archer hub has a number K52154. Anyone any suggestions on how to date it? Thanks Otto
 
Normal Sturmey Archer first 2/3 represent model underneath that you had month and year or just year.
so AW would be model then month and year. They had K KB KBC KS KSW and KT all from the 30s but dont know of anything K5? the origanal patent was 519 from 1902 you could try looking at the Sturmey Archer heritage site. I will have a look in our old sutherlands manual tomorrow see if it mentions anything.
