Would you say mine looks like it is actually a Hobbs? My hunch is it might not be a Hobbs Blue Riband, but it’s a good enough quality frame and I’m happy with it. There are some numbers under the paint on the bottom of the bottom bracket, but I’m a bit reluctant to scrape it all off to find out.
Stamps on the steerer tube? Bit less destructive than scraping
And I’m increasing all for enjoying bicycles for what they do for me as for what they might appear (or not) to be for observers :)
