Hi Hillyben,
The number on the steerer tube is the same as that on the rear left hand dropout.
Which is a good start.
Its just that the fork crown looks a little at odds with other Hobbs i have seen of the same era. It look distinctly like a Nervex crown or maybe its an Oscar egg crown, im not sure.
I thought this motif might help to determine whether the crown is original to the frame or not.
