I recently bought a Sears Tote Cycle on eBay, for what I think was a good price. Does anyone know who made this bike for Sears? The numbers on the bottom bracket are either 504- or 507- or 509- (the third number looks like it was stamped twice, with a different number both times, so is a little hard to read) 459211. The second set of numbers, also on the bottom bracket shell, is 603426.
The rear hub is a Sturmey Archer SC3, with the code 72 10. I do not know if this is the original hub. I know nothing of this bike's history. There is a BMA/6 decal/sticker on the seat tube. I bought the bike because I like the retro Art Deco styling, and restoring it will give me something to do. Any info provided will be greatly appriciated. Thank you all in advance.

The code on the sturmey would indicate October 1972, I believe.
