Any info on the Raleigh Merlin will be appreciated
I bought a Humber Sports Tourist Frame in the weekend. It has a Merlin decal in vertical font on the seatpost.
I think Humber bought Merlin[UK], then Raleigh Industries consumed Humber and number of other makes like Rudge. Merlin it appears specialised [we spell it that way] in frame building. The frame had double bladed forks and is appx early 60s violet hued blue. All very original too.
