Men's and Lady's 5-speed Raleighs
My wife and I bought these as gifts for one-another for our first anniversary in 1969. We used them for a couple of years, and then put them in a garage.
Two years ago we decided to get back into bicycling and had them both serviced.
The man's is, I think, a 1968, the lady's a 1967.
I still have all the documentation -- owner's manual, parts list, etc., as provided in the original Raleigh envelopes.
(Some of the photos were taken before they were cleaned and serviced.)

Anyone able to suggest their current value?
Thank you in advance.

Ooh, Sturmey S5 hubs, don't see those every day! Nice looking Brooks Pro saddles as well. Sprites in general aren't super valuable, but those rear hubs alone are worth over $100 a piece.
