Picked up the frame today. The cranks look to be Williams, the brakes are GB Sport Mk2 from 1955 and the BB is a nice Bayliss Wiley number. Not sure what the headset is. Definitely not Lytaloy but looks like is might be a combination of several different ones put together. Possibly some Brampton in there.
Have decided to leave the paint in its current state and drape some nice shiny bits on it. I'm about to stump up for a nice Osger Super Champion unless someone convinces me that this is totally period incorrect. There appears to be quite a few even 50's bikes with this type of setup on Classic Lightweights.
Peter Lowry (VCC Hobbs guru) confirms that it's a September 1946 Clubweight.
Fork crown is quite a bit pointier than than my '47.
Sorry to my girlfriend and daughter that my accumulation of bikes and parts is reaching hoarder territory.
