Reference information for the experts here.

I salvaged this old card from a trash can in an old bike shop (took it home with the blessing of the nice bike shop owner. This came with a wooden case of 25 framesets from England, from the Raleigh company. Bicycle frames were badged "Rays, Nottingham England". Double top tube to be built into rod brake roadsters.

I have a 1958 RAY lady's cycle, 26" wheels. They were made by Raleigh but the company was the old Raven Cycle Company. The haedbadge is a lovely thing with a raven in flight. The bike's for sale, in case anybody wants it, priced at $65. It's not bad but fenders need blasting and paint.
