Trying to date a Rudge ladies bike

[Monster1756]

Hi,

Wonder if anyone can help?

I have a Rudge / Raleigh ladies bike and I am trying to get an idea of date

969695z
164589 R

Is there a list of frame numbers available?

Thanks and best wishes.

Clive

If it's got a Sturmey-Archer rear hub then there is a simple date code which is a reliable starting point.
