That was something that occurred to me to investigate based on the "HB" serial number prefix - plus how nicely radiused and balanced those swervy lugs are - much harder to accomplish than appears at a glance. Fastback deal is typically Condor as well.

So what do you think it is? I investigated Hurlow and one article said he sculpted fleur de lys on his lugs and there are a number on mine too

Without further investigation I think you have reached the collective limit here.
British serial numbers are not my interest.
I suggest you sign up for the Classicrendezvous group. Details at the site.
I bet they will collectively either confirm or provide you with more information.
Probably more than one will offer to purchase it.

I have a question about painting. I have seen a product called Rust Converter says it turns rust into a paintable primer. Anyone know if this is good to use.

After stripping the frame the s/n came up as V8175 and the fork is also stamped V8175 it is now primed and when I get a chance I will paint it. also it became obvious that the fork and stays were chromed about 1/3 the way from the dropouts.

Not to bump this thread up needlessly, but the HB stamping is no indication of the builder. I've been able to source an unused, pressed bottom bracket shell bearing the same HB stamping:

I've taken some pics of the frame I"ve been trying to paint it and am having a lot of problems with the white that is holding up everything.
