Dayton ladies frame identification

[Attempted Mustache]

Hi all,

Recent acquisition, any info appreciated. I’m guessing the frame is 50s era. Some nice details including grease port in the bottom bracket.

Thanks, Alex

Nothing "Mixte" about it, just a standard ladies frame, possibly wrong forks having trapped ends from what I can see.

Thread title edited, thanks for the correction. I think the forks are contemporary with the frame though…

Oooh, thanks and great build. Definite similarities though yours seems a bit finer in construction - particularly where the seat stays meet the seat tube. Perhaps mine is an earlier example or a lesser model…

There is a Facebook page for Dayton, might be useful stuff in there.
