The photo shows my Hercules in the condition in which I found her. All I've done since is keep her cleaned, lubed and serviced and she's a joy to ride
Sianelle,
Do you have any better pictures of that bike? We have a Hercules Skyliner from that general period and would like to cross check some details. The Skyliner is a single speed freewheel ladies frame with rod brakes. We have been unable to pin down the date. Most of the clues point to the 50's.

Here is picture right after it was rescued by Pastor Bob:
