Date of NYC Humber

[NYCHumber]

anyone know a year for this Humber? The clues are the wrap around seat tube stays, oil plug for lube in the bottom bracket. Clamp on down tube for shifters. Cable hook on bottom bracket for front derailleur. Gusset bolt hole for generator on the front fork. Pin style cranks…
Any help would be appreciated

if no serial on bottom bracket shell it should be on left rear dropout

I couldn’t find anything on that site to match. I will look at the rear hub and on the inside of the fork tube and check back in. Thanks

No numbers found on fork tube, left rear drop out or the bb but there are the numbers scratched in *see pic

Anything stamped on the seat tube under the seat bolt ? common place for 70's Raleigh / Carlton.

Didn't know Raleigh used the Humber brand in the 60's, especially on a sports bike. Humber were, in my knowledge anyway, roadsters. Colour scheme reminds me of the Raleigh Blue Streak bike.

The blue streak is VERY similar in the wrap over seat stays as well as the fork crown and paint scheme but the Humber had the v like pool cues have
